The Soda Factory’s Nearly Independence Day

Overview

The folks at The Soda Factory are capitalising on their regular Thursday doo-wop lineup and diner-style menu for Independence Day. Since opening early last year, they've been serving up fun 'n' fizzy cocktails, smash-hit Dollar Dawgs and sweet-but-suitable-for-a-weeknight sounds to barhoppers (or stayers, in this case) in mid-century armchairs.

The day before the day Americans celebrate cutting off ties with the Brits (hint: the Fourth of July is the Friday, this event's on the Thursday), they're changing up their menu to include deliciously artery-challenging American-style fare: Philly cheesesteaks, pepperoni pizza fries, and cheese and bacon potato skins. To complete the '50s diner vibe, Soda Factory darlings Dick Smithers and the Doo Wops will provide appropriately rockabilly tunes alongside new Thursday regulars Black Diamond Hearts.
