Ok, I have never heard this before....
Me: are there happy hour food specials?
Server: yes, these appy's are only $5 during happy hour. (reg $8)
Server: oh and by the way they are half orders...
Me: So I get 50% less food for 30% less money?? Really, that's the "special"??
Server: Yes, that's how all bar happy hours operate! (defensively)
Me: So it's more expensive to order the "special" - Server: I guess so.
So anyways, that's just one indication of why at 5:30 pm there were 6 people here.
The food was adequate, the place was nice.. No atmosphere.
