The Adult Munchie Mart pop-up at Arlene’s Grocery is easily the best pop-up in the city, and I absolutely love it. The vibes are unmatched, and having top-tier food like Prince Street Pizza in the mix makes it an absolute must-visit event. If you're nearby, definitely pass by Arlene's Grocery before the pop-up ends today (8/23/26) at 6 PM—it's completely worth visiting! The pop up is 18+, mist show id.

Arlene's Grocery is a lively venue that combines great music with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The bar offers a nice selection of beers in its quieter area, while the music space has a unique NYC vibe and hosts solid acts from around the country. The venue is legendary, with a friendly atmosphere and comfortable seating, making it a great spot for post-dinner drinks. Live music plays every night, featuring bands that deliver original music with a hard kick. The sound stage rocks, and the frozen mixed drinks are amazing. Staff members are friendly and welcoming, with a great host at the door and bartenders known for their excellent taste in music. Karaoke with a live band is a must-try, and the good times (and tunes) roll here. While the experience is generally positive, some guests have noted issues with service during busy times, but the overall atmosphere remains nice and inviting, drawing crowds from the surrounding areas.
