https://saluhallmarket.comSaluhall — which is, quite literally, Swedish for “food hall” — was opened by the new downtown IKEA in April 2024, the first Saluhall in North America. Now, the two-story, 23,000 square foot food hall on Market Street just turned one year old. They’re celebrating with a daily happy hour all May (4-6pm with $6 beers, $5 house wine, $7 Brut and Brut Rosé), ongoing cooking classes and events like Trivia Night and Drag Bingo Brunch (plus other Pride events all June).
