Goodbye Hunan Number One

Clarendon was sadly hit with another closing notice this week with Hunan Number One declaring their last day open will be Sunday August 11. This sudden announcement caught me by surprise as recently Hunan had bartender, server and delivery job wanted signs on their front window. It will definitely be missed as Hunan was one of the last dive-bar-ish old venues in Clarendon, which is quickly being dominated by high end sports bars and nightclubs.

Hunan was famous for its casual atmosphere and giant low cost 32oz beer mugs, usually $9 with happy hours lasting until 9pm. Hunan also had a minor renovation in 2015 adding arcade, pinball and a pool table to its rear bar.

Come down to Garfield Street this Friday and Saturday night to give Hunan a final sendoff!

Plant Nite at Hunan Number One

You may have seen the Paint Nights previously hosted in Clarendon, where participates paint beginner level paintings and sip wine at a bar together, so now get ready for Plant Nite this Wednesday August 30 starting 7pm. Hunan Number One is hosting this event where you can exercise your green thumb and create your own table top garden from terrariums to herbs garden. Of course you will be able to take advantage of Hunan's great happy hour specials and $7 to $9 giant beer steins. You can buy tickets on their website for $56 per person including materials.
