Blondie’s

Blondie’s on Western Avenue pairs a late-running bar with food that can easily become dinner. The menu includes a smashburger, Nashville hot chicken, birria tacos and loaded tots, plus pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Pigs in a blanket are an option for the table if you’re starting with drinks and haven’t settled the food question yet.

For dessert, the Blondie Sundae brings together Richardson’s vanilla ice cream and brownie pieces. The bar opens earlier on weekends and stays open until 2 a.m. on its operating nights, but check kitchen availability before treating that as a promise of late food. It’s closed Mondays. Make it a stop for cocktails and shared starters, or order a burger and call it dinner.
