It’s a birthday party, and you’re invited! <a href="http://www.publicparkingbar.com/">Public Parking</a>, the East Johnson Street bar, is turning one year old this weekend. The bar is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPJ4MEhCToi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">celebrating</a> with free champagne, raffle prizes, and drag performances. It’s been a big first year–from being named <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/story/best-new-bars-america-2025">a best new bar</a> in the country by Bon Appétit to winning the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKiRVuAuhHS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Judge’s Choice award</a> at Bittercube’s Botanical Battle Royale 2025.  Ahead of the birthday party, host Bianca Martin chats with co-owner JR Mocanu about their first year in business and all the fanfare they’ve received.
