An Ale & an Oyster: Late-night happy hour for frazzled Restaurant Week staff

As the second cycle of Restaurant Week(s) revs up tonight, chef Jonathan McDonald of Pub & Kitchen wants to make sure cooks, servers, bartenders and managers have something to look forward to.
P&K's late-night happy hour should soothe the jangled nerves of those who have been serving hordes of bargain-hungry RW diners — think beer, bourbon and bivalves. From Sunday through Thursday, 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., restaurant staff can hit up P&K's bar for $4 bottles of Brooklyn lager and a shot of Bulleit bourbon (one vote for new Citywide Special!), $3 draft beers and oysters on the half shell for a buck each.
The 'tenders won't even play 20 questions with you before you've had your alcohol. "We don't want to grill people," says JMac. "We're trusting you — no pay stubs required." Maybe friends of servers and cooks should treat their hard-working comrades to a beer, and get in on the industry discount. The chef is even considering extending the late-night deal into the future. "We've had a great turnout, " he says. Meal Ticket has spotted staff from Rouge, Snackbar, Ten Stone and Amada chilling at the happening bar already. Could Pub & Kitchen become the new pre-Pen & Pencil?
