How The Mental Bar Became Encanto’s Third Place

Happy Half Hour

#348 This week on Happy Half Hour, Tommy and Daneyel Walker of The Mental Bar serve more than just coffee—they tell us about the cultural haven they built in Encanto. Their hallmark is comfort food and signature drinks like "Sexual Chocolate," a cold brew mixed with strawberry lemonade, and other drinks with adaptogens. When floods devastated the area, The Mental Bar became a community lifeline, offering resources and support. For the Walkers, this isn’t just a café; it's a passion project aimed at creating the "third space" they never had growing up, where everyone can connect and thrive.
