"If you work late or don’t enjoy drinking before Jeopardy airs at 7pm because you play to win, it can be hard to find a Happy Hour you can actually attend. But Local 138 does a Happy Hour until 9pm daily, and they also let you bring your own food. So if you want to plan an affordable dinner date with yourself, pick up some dinner from Tiny’s Giant Sandwich Shop or Patacon Pisao, and eat it in this dark, divey LES bar while you drink a $4 beer and check the r/mildlyinteresting subreddit on your phone." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
