Done schussing and angling for some après? There’s no shortage of Happy Hours Downtown. The only problem: finishing your day’s adventure in time.
Happy Hour Snapshot
8TH STREET STEAKHOUSE – Grill it yourself at 8th Street Steakhouse, where you’re the chef and the happy hour hero. From 4:30–6 p.m. and again at 8:30 p.m. (because why stop once?), get down with: $7 Steak Burgers, Stuffed Mushrooms, and Truffle fries so fancy they don’t need a dipping sauce (but they have one anyway); $6 martinis, well drinks, and wine; and $2 off all beers. This place serves steakhouse swagger without the steakhouse sticker shock. 8thstreetsteakhouse.com
CORNER SLICE – Monday through Friday, 2–5 p.m. is basically adult recess at Corner Slice. Stick around for open mic Wednesday and live music Saturdays, where your beer buzz might just inspire you to sing Blink-182 like it’s 2004. Imbibe in $2 cheese slices; garlic pretzels and cheesy bread because carbs are happiness; and $5 shots, including Jameson, Stoli-O, Rumpleminze and Jager Bombs – aka the Holy Grail of “I should probably eat first.” thecornerslice.com
BACK DOOR GRILL – Originally a to-go window, now a full-on burger beacon. It’s lowkey, laidback and dangerously good. Bonus: you can totally say you went “around the back” and not sound sketchy. From 3:30–5:30 daily, you can crush burgers, beers and boneless buffalo wings that bite back. thebackdoorgrill.com
JOHNNY B GOOD’S DINER – Happy hour but make it dessert first. Every day from 3-5 p.m., grab a slice of pie for just $3.99. Yes, really. Think Banana Cream, Key Lime and more sweet seduction, then pair it with an adult milkshake like the Georgia Peach (with peach schnapps and actual peaches), or Adult Root Beer Float (with Not Your Father’s Rootbeer, because you’re someone’s questionable influence). johnnybgoodsdiner.com
O’NEIL’S TAVERN & GRILL – Come for the Irish charm, stay because you’re suddenly best friends with the bartender. O’Neil’s dishes up happy hour twice a day – 3:30-5:30 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. until close – for anyone who believes the luck of the Irish starts with a great deal. It’s cozy, it’s loud in the best way, and the drinks go down smoother than your last attempt at an Irish accent. Drinks? Oh yeah. Try $5 well drinks, $2 off drafts, microbrews, and imports; $6 wines; $7 Dirty Duke (don’t ask, just order); $8 car bombs if you’re feeling bold and vaguely chaotic; Bud Heavy + shot of Jameson for $7, because subtlety is overrated. Food-wise, late-night cravings are satiated with Irish Mac and Cheese that’s aggressively comforting; Jumbo Pretzels with mustard, which honestly should count as a meal; Fish and Chips, because when in doubt, go full pub; and a double burger for soaking up that second car bomb (wise move). oneilstavernandgrill.com
Town’s Cheapest Beer?
For this esteemed accolade, look no further than the good ol’ White Rabbit bar and restaurant located at Gravity Haus on the mountain, which this winter rolled out a two buck Happy Hour for 16-ounce cans of Outlaw lager. Yes, you read that right. Just $2 for a whole 16 ounces of crushable deliciousness, which – thanks to a special relationship with their distributor – they plan to continue rolling out all summer. Go ahead, buy a round for your friends.
