Top 5 Posts on Bridgetown Bites, February 2025

Welcome to February 2025’s review of top posts for the month. Popular topics include restaurant openings, including the big Flock food hall. And dumplings! Dumpling Week always does well. (Because who doesn’t love dumplings?!?)

It was another good month on the site from a traffic standpoint, with 38,500 unique visitors who generated close to 52,000 page views. That’s an increase of about 24% and 20%, respectively.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, read, shared, and commented on the articles here. And as always, big thanks to our tipsters who pass on tidbits that I can share with you.

Black Water, an established local record label, performance venue, and vegan bar, is coming to Rose City Park. They will set up shop in the old Laurelwood Brewing pub space. This feels like a big deal, as locals have lamented the absence of a tenant in that location since the pub closed in 2023.
