Power Hour

The Bistro's signature drink: Pineapple Jalepeno margaritas.

Last summer, we at the Second Street Bistro started offering a happy hour menu Mondays through Thursdays from 5pm to 6pm. Our menu boast half-price appetizers, $3 house cocktails, $3 house wines, and half-price pizzas. Locals and regulars have affectionately started referring to happy hour as “Power Hour.”

Since the restaurant is closed on Mondays during the off-season, Power Hour is now offered Tuesdays through Fridays, still from 5-6pm. We recommend reservations, as the restaurant is prone to fill up early with people vying for the half-price margaritas and apps.

Fresh sourdough bread and butter.

Our fresh bread is a staple to any meal at the Bistro, however big or small you decide to dine. It’s a must with the Bistro Escargot, Scampi a la Grecque, or Mussels & Fries: dip it in the sauce, because it’s just too good to leave behind.

Bistro Fries

For $2, it’s hard to resist a full basket of salt-and-parsley seasoned fries. If you have some hungry diners at your table, ask your waitress to get these started right away – they’ll be out in a jiff, and they’re perfect for munching while you peruse the rest of the menu.

Spinach, goat cheese and apple salad

Even though the salads are not included on the happy hour menu, they’re a wonderful palette cleanser between courses. The Pear & Pumpkin Seed salad has been a Bistro mainstay since we opened our doors in 2004, but we’re always switching it up on the rest of the salads according to season. We’re featuring a spinach salad tossed in a citrus vinaigrette and topped with our pistachio-crusted goat cheese medallion right now.

Meatloaf pie

We like to think our pizzas are arguably the best deal in town. Half-price during Power Hour in the restaurant, or $5 from 5-8:30 pm every day next door in The Murray Bar. With fresh ingredients, hand-tossed dough, and a different pie-of-the-day every day, you can’t beat it.

Don’t forget, we’re closed for 10 days from January 16th through January 26th (that’s Sunday through the following Wednesday) for renovations. You can still snag our pies over at The Murray Bar.
