Reverse Happy Hours-Tremont

Sometimes Friday happy hour just ends way too early.  By the time you get out of work and decide what you want to do for the night...happy hour ends!  So a great way to get happy hour deals later in the evening is reverse happy hours.  This edition is going to give a review of Tremont Reverse Happy Hours, specifically one of my favorite restaurants. 

The Bistro on Lincoln Park has amazing, fresh, well done, quality food any day of the week including Sunday Brunch.  But if you want to enjoy the delicious food for a fraction of the price, the reverse happy hour fulfills the bill!  On Friday the reverse happy hour begins at 9pm and continues until closing.  On the menu is plenty of items that will make for a filling high quality dinner.  One of my favorite items is the loaded tater tots.  Seriously, are tater tots ever not a good food item and when you add bacon, smoked cheddar, scallions and creme fraiche.  Sometimes tots can be a bit greasy or have too many toppings, but these are a perfect balance with the toppings.  The next item that I love is the buffalo chicken confit.  It is flavorful and spicy but not too hot.  It includes a crisp celery salad and blue cheese.  It is a great way to enjoy a "chicken wing".  The total cost for this meal is $14.  There are many other options on the happy hour menu including a Chicken Ceaser Salad, fries, burger and mac and cheese!  This is one of my favorite restaurants and to get this quality this cheap is an amazing deal.

The other reverse happy hour in Tremont is at Lolita.  This is a great deal for $5 a plate!  My favorites here are the Lolita Burger with egg, bacon, cheddar and onion and the brussel sprouts with anchovies, capers and walnuts.  The total cost of this meal is $10!  The other items on the menu include mac and cheese, mussels, and eggplant dip.  The atmosphere is amazing and sitting at the bar is a fun treat for this place.  Friday nights here the Happy Hour starts at 10:30 and goes until close. 

As always if anyone has any suggestions of places I am always open to suggestions.
