Summer is almost here, and for those of us working on our summer bods, that means becoming more active. We’ve got rock climbing and beer, cycling and beer, and yoga and – you guessed it – beer. Looking to move indoors? Ill Minster is bringing in the Caped Crusader for a Batman pop-up. Here are 10 foodie finds to fill your weekend:
Bar Ilegal Pop-Up

There are no reservations required.
