Happy Hour of the Week
๐พ BOARD & BOTTLE | POSTINO
$25 Bottle of Wine & Bruschetta Board Every Monday & Tuesday after 8 PM
A great date night spot. Wait times can get very long, so joining the waitlist before heading to the restaurant is important. They have a bunch of bruschettas, including rotating seasonal options; my favorite is the Burrata, Bacon, Arugula, and tomato.
