| - SOT is one of the best Happy Hour joints in the downtown core! I discovered this place last summer after the financial busy season (Jan-April) when I actually got to see daylight when getting off of work. I've been there on numerous occasions but mostly for a happy hour drink with some friends/co-workers as it's conveniently located in the financial district. If you're a suit like me, you'll fit right into the crowd here. Although there are some casual customers from time-to-time, the place is often swarmed by suits.
The best thing about this place; the outdoor patio. I know everyone raves about it but it's for good reason as there are few places that compare. The patio is fully equipped with a bar, tables and even a lounge area with stretch couches for larger groups.Nothing says TGIF in the summer like having a cool pint of beer while sitting out on the patio. And if it gets too sunny, you can always head "inside" where there is another bar and plenty of screens to check out how the game's going. The reason why I say "inside" is because the place is very open concept. There aren't many walls or doors to separate the inside and the outside patio so even if you escape inside when it's too sunny, you can still enjoy the presence of natural light and the breeze of fresh summer air. And for those of you who enjoy bar scenery, the waiting staff at SOT are pretty easy on the eyes.
Not only is the location/atmosphere great, the food at SOT is pretty damn tasty as well! I've only been there for lunch and for appetizers with some drinks but no one really goes during happy hour as a main source of food intake anyway. I've had the burger there and its about as good as you would expect at your standard bar and grill (3.5 stars). The fish tacos which come in a serving of 3 tacos, are a must have (4.5 stars)! The flaky fish tenders coupled with an exotic mix of slaw and grilled pineapple offers a fresh and exciting explosion of flavor that I rarely expect in places like this. Although they are a little pricey at $12, it is well worth it and is hearty enough to serve as a full meal. You can also add an additional taco for $4 if you're feeling hungry. The prime rib sliders and calamari are also a decent addition to the menu (3.5 stars). Definitely go with a few friends and enjoy a healthy mix of these appetizers with some drinks!
One of the downfalls is the wait time. Since the place is so popular, it's often very difficult to just get a walk in during lunch or right after work. So if you don't want to risk having to wait, call ahead for a reservation!
