"The second floor of Republica, a three-story Dominican restaurant on Dykman, is windowless with purple strobe lights and thumping bachata. As you can imagine, brunch upstairs on the colorful covered rooftop is also a party. For $45 each, you can get two hours of bottomless mimosas or sangria and two brunch entrees per person. While the food is decent, it definitely has a bigger purpose—and that purpose is to give you enough sustenance to keep pouring drinks. You’re going to see a lot of birthdays, but you'll see just as many people dancing in their seats celebrating Saturday." - Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Hannah Albertine
