On June 19th at the Distillery District, CityEvents attended the Opening of a new French gem located on Tank House. Enter the “Cluny Bistro and Boulangerie” and you are already in a Parisian restaurant style: Escargot, frog’s thighs, Oysters, Coquilles Saint Jacques, French-Style bread with its butter, Macarons, Tartelettes.
The themed cocktails and wines were served and our French CityEvents staff from France felt nostalgic while tasting French food and wine. The space is inspired by the french style and decorated like a Parisan restaurant, even well known french music were playing such as the famous song of France Gall – Poupée de cire, pourpée de son, by Serge Gainsbourg. If you want to escape to to a resto with a little bit to France, you know where to go!

Boxcar Social : the new trendy Coffee & Wine Bar
June 4, 2014 by deblewis
Filed under Event Venues
Just steps away from the train bridge and old station is a two storey home that has been converted into Boxcar Social. A couple of friends got together as young entrepreneurs and decided to make a not so ordinary coffee shop. The staff pays serious attention to their coffee and as per the name, the guys working at Boxcar Social are all extremely friendly, enthusiastic and talkative.
The soon anticipated liquor license will allow for the wine, craft beers, bourbon and scotch to be pulled out and enjoyed at night.
The concept behind Boxcar Social is:
“Do what we love, do it with our friends, and do it really well. Offering a curated, rotating list of coffees from the best roasters in North America, a careful selection of some of the world’s top new-world wines, and interesting craft beers, scotches and bourbons – we strive to create the most unique tasting experience for our customers. And we enjoy every minute of it.”
To differentiate themselves they have a Coffee Club which allows you to receive either Coffee Beans, Espresso Beans or both Espresso and Coffee Beans shipped to your home twice a month for a monthly fee.
Pop in to taste the quality of the coffee, chat with friendly staff, even treat yourself to a chuckle at their witty messages on the outdoor chalkboard and newly added deck patio just in time for summer.
Hours of operation until receiving liquor license are Monday to Saturday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm and Sunday from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.
When liquor license received the new hours will be Monday to Thursday 8:00 am – 12:00 am, Friday and Saturday 8:00 am – 2:00 am, and Sunday 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.
