Lots of people have asked about happy hours, weekly specials and other budget-friendly beverage options in our fair city so I created a page with a starter list of thirty deals. You can find that initial list below and at this link. It’s a work in progress — yes, I realize there are lots of other options. And while it aims to be accurate, deals can change so you might want to double-check before you go. Oh yeah, the heart symbol means I really like the deal.
