Where to go for Happy Hour on Fridays!

No, I'm emailing you from my dusty den at the Commodore matey!

Boombozz Taphouse in the Highlands, come and sit on our patio for great Happy Hour Specials

Friday Happy Hour made me think of "Butchertown Pub" several years ago....that was the "happ'nin" watering hole for quite awhile, where all the "suits" (male and female) gathered after a week's labors -- anyone remember their signature beverage, "The Butcherblock"?

Oh I wish I could join! Much jealousy here. I am still here at the house making a bunch of little amuse bouches for tomorrow. Actually, I've had about a bottle of wine while concocting everything. At this point, I've done about 100 of those little wonton wrap cup thingys you bake in the mini-muffin tins. I've never done them before, but am really happy with how they've turned out. Incredibly easy. I plan to fill them with salad items.

I seem to remember that Java brewing company on Frankfort ave. used to have happy hour specials. Perhaps half-price bottles of wine? I could totally be making this up, not sure. Nonetheless, it's a great place to sit in the rain and sip some wine, as the patio is partially covered and there is plenty of people watching too.

I almost mentioned the Butchertown Pub earlier. But since the post was directed at Phil who wouldn't know about it, I thought it would be rude to blather on about a place he wouldn't know. Although it's only a few miles from the Old Sears building. And yes -- I sampled a few Butcher Blocks back in the day. Those things were quite potent. I'd always have to go home and take a nap around 8pm on Friday. Fountain patio anyone??

My favorite happy hour location is the bar in my basement. Two beers on tap, all the jenos pizza rolls I can eat and some of the best music going...not to mention no mad mothers.

Sounds like Minnesota to me!

Thought I'd throw my two cents in for what it's worth.

For dive-y, my favorite tends to be Big Al's Beeritaville on Mellwood between Frankfort and Brownbsoro. Great outdoor patio, good bar food, cheap beer, pool table and beer barrel chairs.

I know you had mentioned Asiatique and wanting to get away from Bardstown Rd, but they're recently started a Fridays After Five with Dumante Drink Specials and live jazz with Carly Johnson and Craig Wagner from 5-7pm - weather permitting, it's on the patio.

BBC Taproom at Main and Clay is another favorite. Thursday is $2 pint nights, but any other day of the week they're $3, can't go wrong on either account. They're only open T-F.

And if you're looking for quantity to consume, there's always the Drink & Drown on Tuesdays at Q, gay bar on Main & 9th.
