Sunday. 10pm. Just flew in from San Diego, and was starving and wanted a quick happy hour deal. Decided I'd head to Brio.
Brio's kitchen was closed. Was recommended to check out Petra or Bottles & Burgers.
Petra and Bottle's & Burgers were closed.
Drove across the street to Kona. It was closed.
Walked to Gordon Biersch (now I'm slumming it). It was closed.
Gave Ember's a shot, and amazingly they were open even though they weren't supposed to be (fantasy draft?).
Looked over the happy hour menu, and the Crispy Beef Tacos and Goat Cheese Crostinis sounded good. Asked the bartender if he had any recommendations from the menu, and he named exactly those two. WIN!
Got a Hoegarden comped for playing some video poker. Ended up winning $5, so thank you for paying me to drink.
Both apps were out ridiculously fast and were ridiculously delicious. A tad overpriced at $7 and $6 for happy hour prices, but definitely flavorful enough to write it off.
If this place was open late, I would probably start making this my local bar. Unfortunately, they close at old people hours. Going to have to come back and do dinner here, the 2 apps were that good.
