| - Along with Gandy Dancer in Station Square, Hyde Park is one of my favorite food/drink happy hour spots in town. Had a really fun time here--much thanks to server Sean, a great guy and great at what he does--last month during a 1-night "staycation" at nearby Parador Inn on the North Shore.
Solid happy hour food list and amazing happy hour cocktails. These days I'm not big on drinking, but because my guy and I were staying in the area and walking/cabbing to our next destinations that Friday evening we enjoyed several of the featured happy hour cocktails. At $5-7 each and featuring premium ingredients like Belvedere and Don Julio, they were a great deal. I especially loved the PAMA Blush (Ketel One Orange + PAMA + blood orange).
I almost want to take off a star for inconsistency. Honestly, there's room for improvement there. Some of our drinks were on the strong side, others were normal, and none were weak on the booze. Another inconsistency that stands out in my mind a month later was the cook and juiciness of the cheeseburger sliders; our order #1 was much better than order #2. The brie and mushroom flatbread we had, though, was so delicious and absolutely some of the tastiest flatbread I've ever had--both orders of it.
Highly, highly recommended for those looking for a jovial, affordable happy hour in a classic setting. We ate a dinner's worth of happy hour food and had a number of drinks, so the bill was in the neighborhood of $80 but well worth it. Nothing like the feeling of money well spent.
Oh, and a big "thank you" to the table of nurses who shared some of their monster chunk of red velvet cake with us!
