New cocktails, sweet happy hour action at Opa
The bar at Opa (1311 Sansom St.), always a solid destination for left-of-center tipples, has just rolled out a trio of fall-friendly cocktails built around Greek flavors, all spins on classic drinks:
- The Thendro (pictured), a take on the Sazerac: Metaxa (Greek brandy), Mastiha (a liqueur derived from mastic, the peculiar-flavored evergreen sap produced exclusively on the Isle of Chios), Peychaud's bitters
- The Xinouli, a take on the margarita: Espolon Blanco tequila, Veev, lemon, Cava
- The Maimou, a take on the Monkey Gland: Plymouth gin, orange juice, ouzo, grenadine
Also, you might not know about Opa's happy hour, which runs Monday to Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. — $3 beers, $4 wines and $5 "bartender's choice" cocktails on the drinking end. Crazy food deals, as well — $4 saganaki, $6 calamari and half-price souvlaki ($3 to $1.50) and fries ($6 to $3). Chef Andy Brown will be rolling out a brand-new fall menu within the next couple weeks, too.
