    To pair with their beers, Forbidden Root guests will nosh on a menu of bar snacks like Ramen Seasoned Popcorn and Smoky BBQ Potato chips; shareable cheese and charcuterie plates, and small plates, which feature soup, salads, wings and more. In the mains department, Forbidden Root offers dishes like a Milk Brined Pork Schnitzel Sandwich, Duck & Dumplings, House Made Fettuccine and more.

    Come warmer months, Forbidden Root will add seating on its patio, accessible via garage doors on the lower level. Upstairs can also become an open-air dining experience with retractable windows and a view that overlooks the outdoor stage that’s a part of the new development.

    To start, Forbidden Root will be open daily from 4 – 11:30 p.m.
