Ah Monday. To get me through the week, I’m already dreaming of Bacar’s Friday-only happy hour. The wine bar, a few doors down from South Park, is typically too rich for my budget. But every Friday, its 50% off of cocktails and beer, with dollar oysters. That works out to two Saphire and Tonics, plus 3 Hog Island oysters for 10 bucks (plus tips.) The catch is that happy hour runs from 2:30 to 5:30. Catch the tail end like I do, or take a late lunch. Its quickly becoming my traditional place to kick off the weekend.
