| - Zipps is one of my favorite places to grab a beer and watch a game! Let's appreciate Zipps for what it is: a sports bar with decent grub (not a foodie dinner destination). I'm a complete sucker for the specials that Zipps runs. Here are my personal favorite highlights from their deals menu:
Happy hour weekdays from 3-7pm:
$6 Wings (my favorite are the "golden medium")
$2.75 well drinks
$3.75 excessively large domestic drafts
Also, there are daily specials from 8-close. (So let's think about this: during the week there is a special going on from 3pm-close except for 60 minutes between 7-8pm, awesome, right?!?!)
My personal favorite day for the evening specials is Tuesday for the Zipps burgers. On Tuesday from 8-close the burgers are $5 and $6.50 for specialty burgers. These things are friggin' huge. Every single one comes with two patties. Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday highlight $1.50 pizza slices. I think they are "meh" as they are just slices with whatever toppings you add that are popped into an oven and reheated for a bit.
My favorite specialty burgers are:
GREEN CHILI BURGER: A double stack with pepper jack cheese, New Mexico green chilies & green bay chili on the side.
CHICADO: Two ground chicken or turkey burger patties, pepper jack cheese, fresh guacamole & fried onion straws.
HOT & SWEET: Pickled jalapenos & our hot but sweet southwestern BBQ sauce, creating the hot but sweet contradiction.
I often find myself in recovery mode at Zipps for the "Weekend Hangover Special". From 11am-4pm specialty burgers are on special for $6.50 and bloody Marys are $4. The Bloody Marys are nothing special at Zipps--this is one part of Zipps that has room for improvement. Give me some more pickles, cheese, peppers, other accessories, pretty please! Buckets of beer (5 long-necks) retail for $12 during this time too--they are also essential to the weekend hangover recovery, so go for it! ;)
