Red Chucks... White China
Welcome to BAR 145!
- A Gastro-What?
- GASTROPUB: It’s a British (AMERICAN!) term for a pub which specializes in high-quality food a step above the traditional grub pub. Gastropubs have an atmosphere which is relaxed and focused on offering a particular cuisine prepared as well as the best restaurants. Staying true to the format requires a menu that complements the assortment or beers and wines (and bourbon!) the gastropub offers.

- Origin of Our Name?
- The most popular question asked to our staff is how we came up with the name Bar 145, wondering if it is the address or if there is 145 different ways to stack your own burger/sandwich. The answer? It is actually the temperature of a perfectly cooked medium rare burger. The warm pink center and slightly crispy outside provide an amazing contrast that we can't resist, and you shouldn't mess with.
