The Rodin Museum just made it easier to stare down "The Gates of Hell" and then order a rosé.
The museum, which holds over 100 sculptures by the 19th century French sculptor Auguste Rodin, will reopen its pop-up bar on Friday. The seasonal bar is set in the middle of the Rodin Museum's scenic garden, home to a reflecting pool and eight Rodin pieces, including castings of "The Thinker" and "The Gates of Hell," two of the artist's best-known works.

The menu includes two sandwiches — a roasted turkey baguette and tofu banh mi — along with five starters. Customers can also try a selection of local beers and wines, including some from Mural City Cellars, as well as Two Robbers seltzers and cocktails like the Red Rosé, a gin concoction with sorrel syrup and elderflower tonic.
The garden bar will be open every Friday from 4-8 p.m. until Aug. 30, weather permitting. Admission to the garden is free, and leashed dogs are allowed, so there's no excuse not to introduce Max the goldendoodle to some culture.
