The restaurant’s bar is now an entity of its own called 36 Chambers. The name is lightly inspired by the Wu-Tang Clan’s debut album “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).” It also takes inspiration from the kung fu movie “The 36th Chamber of Shaolin” and the history behind the fighting Shaolin monks. The bar will have a hip hop vibe and feature various DJs. / Image: Catherine Viox // Published: 9.9.19
