"Dark and industrial with reclaimed wood and a great slab of concrete for the bar, Bar Maven fills up each night with neighborhood regulars playing tunes on the digital jukebox and enjoying a generous happy hour menu. The menu features bar staples with the occasional Mediterranean element, like pita chips with tzatziki for $3 or fried cauliflower with tahini for $7. The $5 cheeseburger comes à la carte, but at a half-pound that’s actually a benefit rather than a drawback. Meanwhile, well drinks are just $3, and draft beers are all $1 off. Happy hour starts at 10 p.m. and runs until closing at 2:30 a.m. for food specials, while drink specials end at midnight." - Alex Frane
