A new and novel takeout place has opened up on Red River Road - and it’s been a long journey for the owners of Babylon Quick Fix, Kal and Jana Merkley.
The original concept, pre-pandemic, was a cocktail bar. “The interior would be a full-on sensory experience; it has texture and eye-candy everywhere. We tried to add a bunch of elements; social activities for everyone to participate in together,” explains Kal.
Babylon Lounge, as it was intended, had to go through multiple changes and adjustments when the pandemic threw a wrench (actually, multiple wrenches) into their plans. They tried to open in October last year, when they found out that insurance companies weren’t willing to let them buy liquor liability insurance. After giving up on selling alcohol and changing their name to Babylon Quick Fix, they were finally able to open in February 2021.
