The Bunk Bar below the Wonder Ballroom operated from 2012 to 2019.[4] The Alberta location closed in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Bunk expanded to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in November 2015;[6] the restaurant closed in January 2017.[7][8]

Bunk has been featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.[9]
