It’s really the perfect spot for a Saturday night date. However, I first experienced bb’s as a ritzy dessert dive. Hendricks Street is full of hidden surprises. First, I discovered Aardwolf for some craft beers, then Vee’s for post-beer pizza, then La Nopa for Cinco De Mayo Margs, and, finally, bb’s. While the restaurant serves…
