"Dive bar Abby’s Highway 40 first opened in 1940, and after buying the bar in 2022, Stremmel and Reilly oversaw a painstaking renovation that preserved its appearance, while adding a few modern touches, like a beautiful backyard. The verdant space is home to a slate of live music and a food truck called Dumpling Queen serving soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and ice cream." - Regan Stephens
