"When: Monday 5-9pm and Tues-Sat 5-7pm The Deal: $10-11 select cocktails, $10 wine by the glass, and a discounted food menu Doris Metropolitan seems to think happiness should last at least four hours, instead of only one. This Montrose steakhouse offers its happy hour menu all night on Monday. That’s likely because the $6 seasonal bread and butter plate, served with three different miniature housemade loaves, tastes way too incredible to only be available for a couple of hours a day. Get that, plus a kofta kebab, for less than a tank of gas." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The cocktail menu at this high-end butchery and steakhouse has recently been overhauled under the guidance of its newly appointed beverage director, Himanshu Desai. The Walnut Old Fashioned ($22) blends Angel’s Envy Bourbon with walnut liqueur and maple-glazed toasted walnut for an added warm, nutty sweetness. For something more theatrical, the Doris Smoke Show ($25) mixes Maker’s 46, maple syrup, black walnut, and Angostura bitters, with a final flourish of wood smoke." - Brianna Griff
"Doris Metropolitan in Montrose is a steakhouse with a Mediterranean bent from the folks behind Hamsa. Dinner here might feel a little like eating steak with your coworkers—everyone is almost also filing in from an office somewhere—but the food is certainly more refined than your average work party. Especially given the steaks are aged in-house. We suggest sitting at the bar where you can gaze at the chandelier inside the aging room, watch folks meet up and awkwardly shake hands, and (most importantly) get swift, laid-back service. Start with a fresh tomato salad before digging into a tender wagyu classified cut—essentially just Doris Metropolitan’s proprietary nine-ounce slice of beef—served over a savory root puree." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"As if the buzzy vibe around the bar at Doris Metropolitan during happy hour isn’t reason enough to venture in, getting a taste of the decadent Doris burger, which is only available then, surely is. All day on Mondays and Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the Doris burger, served with truffle fries, is available alongside shareables like tuna tartare, kofta kebab, tenderloin skewers, and half-dozen oysters for $12. Pair with a $10 highball or glass of wine, or enjoy a full bottle of Justin Cabernet for $50. The upscale destination has added a new tempting offer with Marbled Mondays when patrons can indulge in half-off American and Japanese Wagyu all day." - Brianna Griff
"An Israeli steakhouse hosting a rodeo party with drink specials and live music." - Brittany Britto Garley
