What This Means for Customers
The addition of alcohol service offers several new advantages for customers of Zapp Noodle Thai Restaurant and 3 Zapp Bar:

Dining and drinking in one location eliminates the need to visit multiple venues. Whether guests want a relaxed dinner, a quick drink, or a night out with friends, both establishments offer a complete experience within easy walking distance of each other.
4. Special Events and Weekend Energy
With alcohol now available, both concepts can expand their weekend programming. This may include themed nights, drink specials, sporting-event watch parties, live entertainment, and more.
