Beat the Heat With These 7 Happy Hours
The top new deals in town

Renzo
Happy hour goers looking for an adventurous beverage offering should head to Huger Street in North Central, as Renzo is serving up house beer plus a shot for $6 and a mystery wine selected by the staff. For food, look for chef Evan Gaudreau’s Detroit-style square slices along with small bites like warm olives and roasted radishes.

Tu
Tu recently began an early bird special served daily from 5-6 p.m. All food and beverage items are $7, with the food mirroring the eclectic dinner offering that frequently changes at Tu.

Millers All Day
This brunch-centric King street hot spot extends their offering from 4-7 p.m. with a happy hour featuring mimosas, brunch punch, and, of course, Miller High Life. Find the already-famous Miller’s bacon, egg, and cheese along with a version of caramel popcorn, known as “bacon jacks.”

One Broad Street
One Broad Street is not only a place to grab brunch or find hipsters sipping cortado’s by the window. The happy hour service is ever-changing, and a lot of times the only way to find out what to expect is via their Instagram feed. Diners can look for inventive small plates — think charred cauliflower or beet carpaccio — and a featured larger plate to go with creative cocktails and craft beers.
