Last time I visited Hunger, ghost hunters were here to determine whether the building is haunted. What were the results?
Jaime: We’re still waiting for the results. They took a few infrared photos. Since the original bartender left, nothing strange has happened, though. They say paranormal activity follows certain people.
Brian: Maybe the ghosts just liked his cocktails.
Have you added any dishes designed to drive away ghosts?
J: The crab on the paella might.
B: Or the Gouda burger. We also have fresh pasta now, for spring.
Absinthe seems to range from vaguely boozy licorice water to something with noticeably different effects than a shot of whiskey. Will your house-made absinthe make the inside of this restaurant look like a Van Gogh painting?
B: Absolutely. Our New Orleans–style red absinthe is very strong, with a spicy bite to it. It has enough wormwood that you’ll definitely be happy by the time you finish it.
I read that the original Spanish tapas were simply a slice of meat or bread resting on top of a glass of sherry. Which item on your menu would you say is most comparable to this?
J: Our bruschetta—it’s shrimp on bread, with a relish.
Someone online complained there was too much nudity on your TV—what were you playing?
B: Invasion of the Bee Girls. It’s pretty unusual and cool. We’ve since switched to older black-and-white movies to keep it G-rated. ![]()

What color is the louche for red absinthe? Pink? I’m curious. I’ve been very happy every time I’ve had absinthe.
terrible service. I went when it was first opened. There was no ventilation so the dining room was completely smokey and let smelling like smoke. Service was slow and the brunette waitress was veriy impolite and did not apologize about the slow service. The french toast we ordered was cold on arrival. I’m suprised this place is open still.
not sure why my comment was taken down but here it is again.
I am a food critic and this place is sort of pricey for what you get.
the place needs ventilation, faster service and hotter foods.
I have been going here once a week since they have opened and it is fantastic. The food is good and well priced…the cocktails are amazing and the owners are really cool and friendly to everyone who walks in the door. It is obvious that yelp98103 does not know anything about food and is in no way a food writer…they cant even put together a simple sentence without grammatical errors!!
