| - Went for happy hour on a Tuesday evening. Showed up around 4 and the place was dead. By 630, the business crowed from downtown had made it and the place was hoppin'. Definitely a business crowd place but still laid back.
The prices of regular-hour food is way too high for me but the happy hour prices were reasonable. $5 Tuesday margaritas were heavy-handed and the $3.50 wells were solid. The selection of beers on Happy Hour are limited to mostly american crap and the imported/drinkable beers were outrageously priced ($9.75 for a Young's Chocolate Stout!?).
We grazed off a selection of Happy Hour appetizers including bacon-wrapped scallops, potato skins with pulled pork, Shrimp Cocktail, and Beef Sliders.
The scallops were great - a good combination of crispy bacon with the soft scallop. They came with a sauce (something with ginger in it) that really brought the flavors together.
The potato skins with pulled pork were amazing - cheese, chives, pork, and potato was one of the best things I have ever eaten.
The shrimp cocktail was decent but for $5, it only came with 5 shrimp. They were decently sized though.
The sliders were more like two small steaks with onions and a bun. I wasn't really expecting that toughness when i bit into it and it sort of ruined the experience. Be warned.
4 people, 8 drinks, 6 appetizers, tax, tip = $100. Not bad for happy hour. Would definitely return after pay-day.
