About Pine & Polk and PS:
Living under one roof, two distinct concepts coexist effortlessly. An artisanal retail shop, focusing on food and culinary offerings, complemented by a secret bar. While each space has their own characteristics and personalities, commonalities are weaved throughout. Our favorite products are featured on the menu in the secret bar, and items prepared for the menu are sold in the shop. Hospitality is a key focus, making each patrons’ experience memorable regardless of which space they visit.
We look forward to the opportunity of meeting you!
