Let’s face it: at times, being an adult is in no way as cool as we thought it would be when were a kid. One thing that can go in the pro column for adulting, though, is happy hour, and Fleming’s is my favorite happy hour spot. It’s close to my house and it’s lower key than some of the trendy, posh places where the Hill staffers and other soulless hipster yuppies like to hang (not knocking them – I probably actually am one, too, I’m just in denial).
They have an extensive bar menu that they feature for happy hour that includes not only wines and beer, but some fancy cocktails, too. They offer small plates, as well as entrees at discounted prices.
I love when happy hour turns into happy hours – like yesterday; my colleagues and I sat sipping wine, noshing on beef carpaccio and gourmet burgers, and enjoying each other’s company for FIVE and a half hours. You can’t beat the price on the burgers – $10 for the burger and fries in the pic below; it came with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, and cheese. We closed the place down! What better way to end a week (in this case) or to use to break up the week as a weekday treat?
