History

edit
 
The food cart Ruthie's (pictured in 2022) has operated in Someday's patio

The bar opened on January 2, 2020.[13] During the COVID-19 pandemic, owners sold beer and wine via take-out, and participated in an effort to change a law that did not allow alcoholic beverages to be sold via delivery and pickup.[14]

Someday launched the collaborative "Someone series" in 2023.[15]

Among food carts that have operated in Someday's court are Alley Mezza (Mediterranean),[16] Ash Woodfired (pizza), Let's Roll (sushi),[9] and Ruthie's.[8][17]
