HAPPY HOUR HOPPER: 2nd Street Brew House
WHERE YOU AT? Open for a year, 2nd Street Brew House occupies the unassuming corner of Second and Morris, which gets more traffic from sedans on their way to Target than pedestrians hunting for food and drink. I came across them trolling Twitter (you do it too, right?!). My friends and I made it there on a Wednesday and settled into a table in the back, next to the Ms. Pac-Man machine. When I realized that I couldn't beat anyone at that, I suggested we play darts. WHAT’S THE SCENE? We essentially had the back part of the bar to our selves, save for a few loners who were curled up with their beers and Kindles. Curling up is easy at Brew House since they have upholstered chairs throughout the place. These, plus the low lighting, contribute to the overall warmth of the place. Bartender Logan was awesome, working with my friend for 10 minutes to help her find a beer she'd like on tap. Eventually she ordered the Southern Tier Creme Brulee, which tastes more like dessert than beer; I got a Founders Dirty Bastard, which I loved.

WHAT'S THE DEAL? The Brew House's happy-hour specials run seven days a week from 4 to 6 p.m. — half-price select drafts, half off the entire food menu (tots!), $2 domestic bottles/cans and $4 Citywides. My sole criticism of the Brew House is that they offered only five of their dozen drafts on special when I visited, but I hear that number is fluctuating as the bar finds its happy-hour stride. Altogether, the ambience, staff, food and prices are on point. If I lived anywhere in the vicinity, this bar would definitely be my go-to. For now, it's a regular fixture on my HHH circuit — I was back two days later.
Cheers, y’all.
