The discovery motivated him to document his experience there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s safe to say that this is the craziest bar of all time,\u201d Tony Rav (@tonyrav) starts.<\/p>\n<p>The Panda Express Bar Drink Menu<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/culture\/article\/california-panda-express-raw-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Panda Express<\/a> bar at DFW terminal E. This bar is insane, bro. They have signature drinks,\u201d he adds before flipping the camera around to show viewers the bar\u2019s menu placard. The menu includes the following boozy beverages to pair with your heaping portions of orange chicken:<\/p>\n<p>Kung Pao Margarita<br \/>\nLemon Drop<br \/>\nBlushing Panda Mojito<br \/>\nTequila Sunrise<br \/>\nPanda Paradise Sunset<br \/>\nWhite Russian (nothing like milk and alcohol to go with fried rice)<br \/>\nDragon Elixir<br \/>\nPanda Mule<br \/>\nDirty Martini<br \/>\nOld Fashion<br \/>\nCosmo<br \/>\nMalibu Bay Breeze<br \/>\nGreen Tea Shot<br \/>\nPanda Pop<br \/>\nEspresso Martini<\/p>\n<p>If cocktails aren\u2019t your thing, the bar also has four wine choices and serves four keg types on draft, along with several different bottled beers. While perusing the menu, Rav makes his choice and notices another detail that gets him audibly excited. \u201cI\u2019m getting the Panda Mule. And look at this, their own food menu for the bar, and you can order over there,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a Panda Express counter where other customers are standing in line to place food orders.<\/p>\n<p>How Are The Panda Express Bar\u2019s Drinks?<\/p>\n<p>Rav\u2019s video cuts to him showing off the Moscow mule on camera. Like Moscow mules at most bars, it shows up in a copper mug. But he says that the fast-food chain\u2019s version has its own twist. \u201cAll right, the Panda Mule came. She [the bartender] said it comes with a strawberry puree. After taking a sip, he furrows his brows and murmurs, \u201cI taste the strawberry. It\u2019s a bit spicy. \u2026 I think lime. It\u2019s good, though. That\u2019s so good. This place kinda rocks, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His enthusiasm over finding the airport bar prompted him to get another drink off the menu. \u201cAll right, I had to get one more. I had to get one more. Don\u2019t hate the player; hate the game. Russian Panda Mojito. I look like a female getting two red drinks at this bar. I don\u2019t give a s\u2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rav then slurps it down. \u201c10 out of 10,\u201d he says before he heads to his gate to board his flight. \u201cAll right, Panda Express bar review, that place rocks, man. I\u2019m a Panda Express truther. If you know me, you know this. Did I get food? Absolutely not. Getting Panda before a flight should put you in jail. We\u2019re gonna give it a 7.6 out of 10.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Airport Bars Are A Lawless Wasteland<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t many places in the U.S. where you can order a rum and coke or slam two pints of beer without judgment at 9am. But the airport is one of those places.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tastingtable.com\/1943046\/why-airport-bars-open-morning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tasting Table<\/a> highlights how at Chicago O\u2019Hare Airport, some bars open at 6am, allowing travelers to get krunk well before banks open their doors. But why is this the case?<\/p>\n<p>According to the outlet, many bars operate outside normal hours in airports due to the nature of these liminal spaces. Travelers stopping by at these hubs are all operating on different time zones, meaning they are carrying their own circadian clocks adjusted to specific internal times, i.e., \u201cit\u2019s 5 o\u2019clock somewhere.\u201d Ultimately, time isn\u2019t relevant for someone who just traveled 12 hours.<\/p>\n<p>There is something inherently peculiar about seeing an establishment that usually comes with a drive-thru also serve White Russians and margaritas.
