Where do carnivores go when they die? Surely it's straight to Happy Hour at Beast. (But only if you were good. If you were bad, you probably will be sent to Live Organic Food Bar). Anyway, Beast = MEAT HEAVEN.
On Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays between 4-6pm, Beast does the "Beast 120 Happy Hour" (the 120 minutes between 4-6pm). They offer a variety of wine at $5 per glass and several beer selections at $4, along with a tapas menu with small portions at $4 each.
Being a meat lover, I wanted to try this place. Being cheap, I wanted to go during happy hour.
3 of us started off with the charcuterie large sized plate for $15. Amazing! There were 5 selections - a fois gras, rabbit terrine, prosciutto, venison with blueberries, plus one other, served on a PIG shaped board! This was truly delicious. Eric L described their fois gras perfectly "so smooth - it's like ice cream, except it's meat". The charcuterie pairs perfectly with their side of "Rachel's bread and butter".
Others arrived later and we continued to order: Pastrami and cheese on a biscuit (which was two sliders), the poutine (tater tots with cheese and pulled pork), dirty rice fritters, duck hearts, mushrooms on toast.
I really enjoyed everything but my favourite dishes were the poutine and the sliders.
We also saw someone else ordering the lamb ribs..I'm totally getting those next time!!
The service was amazing here. We had two servers and both were attentive and friendly, plus they did an excellent job of explaining what we were being served.
2 drinks each and splitting the 5-6 tapas items came out to only $22-ish per person, including tax and tip.
They have a patio! This is a must-do on Fridays after work. Tell your boss you have a dental appointment and please - go get your BEAST on.
