I received a gift card for 87 West 2 for Christmas, and I was skeptical because it's a wine bar in the middle of Crocker Park. So in normal Kristen fashion, I dragged my boyfriend there for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised! They have $4 pours of wine from 2-6 during the week, the pours are very generous! I stuck with a pinot and have no complaints, they also offer a happy hour food menu, but I consider it to be very lacking compared to other happy hours around. Although, their pomme frites struck my fancy! Happy hour portions are small but the malt vinegar aioli that came with the frites were to die for.
We also tried to the calamari which was decent, but not memorable. But I would like to pull your attention to the lobster nachos! Get these!! $15 for a decent plate of nachos doused in a lobster cream sauce with huge chunks of lobster and hand mashed guacamole. So rich, so worth it!!
I would go back to 87 West 2, but probably only for happy hour!
