Yesterday I had the pleasure of enjoying Fishtown Taps, the neighborhood’s summer happy hour series. It’s a Tuesday treat, I tell ya, with special menu items and extended hours. Make sure you add Lloyd to your itinerary and, of course, Johnny Brenda’s while they have their crazy deluxe corn dog. Get out there and get your cocktails and fancy kettle chips on.

Speaking of a summer series, Serious Sunlight at The Trestle Inn is just around the corner. You can’t top the tunes and the vibes at this unique Go-Go bar. Win yourself a $50 gift bar tab and do your Friday happy hour right.
