The temperatures are warming up, the flowers are blooming, and the leaves are beginning to burst forth on trees.
Spring is almost here, and Craftsman Row Saloon is hosting a Blooming Garden pop-up experience to celebrate the seasonal change.

The Center City bar located at 112 S. 8th St. is ditching its Mardi Gras theme, decorating the restaurant with flowers, and changing the menu to include spring-themed milkshakes, food, and cocktails.
"The floor-to-ceiling transformation continues both inside the dining room and outside," co-owner George Tsiouris said. "It is something we have wanted to do for a long time. The nice weather, the early spring buds across the city, and the return of the Philadelphia Flower Show inside motivated us to pull the trigger and create our own special garden-themed experience."
Patrons can enjoy spring-inspired dishes like a Petaling Crispy Chicken Sandwich, French Fries Bouquet, a Strawberry Garden Milkshake, and garden-themed cocktails like Blossoming Tequila Martinis and Spring-Forward Margaritas.
