Overview

The patio here is one of the best people watching spots in the city. Go with a friend on a Sunday from 4-11pm and get two seriously tasty burgers for $5.

History

Burgers for two where the Living Room played

Epstein's took the Allen and Stanton corner where the Living Room music club started out, and Time Out found it more about canned music than live shows^{1, 2}. Our old review called the patio one of the best people-watching spots in the city, and on Sundays the burgers were two for one². It closed for good over Labor Day weekend 2015, and the corner is now a bar called 82 Stanton, with a patio and a seasonal tiki bar^{3, 4}.
