Each week City of Ate will give you the lowdown on a local happy hour in Quittin’ Time, with the details and why you should or shouldn’t take up the featured bar or restaurant on its drink specials.
Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Where: Bavarian Grill, 221 W. Parker Road in Plano
When: 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
What: $1 off select drafts, $2.75 domestic longnecks, $3.25 Löwenbräu Originals, 95-cent snack plates in the Biergarten with each half-liter beer.
Why: Because Addison isn’t the only suburb where you can celebrate your German pride. And because, after winning the title outright in 2009, the grill was recently voted second in the Best German Restaurant in America contest. Most importantly, though, it’s Hophead– and Best Of Dallas-approved.
The drink specials are a nice touch, but the real attractions are biergarten dishes like the tangy goulash and the crispy meatloaf-ish frikadelle. As if you needed more encouragement to drink delicious German brews like the Weihenstephaner Weissbock Vitus, you can get one for 95 cents for each half-liter bottle you order. “A liter a day keeps the doctor away,” as the Bavarian proverb goes, so have at least a couple–for your health’s sake, of course.
After stein hour ends, on most nights you can move from the patio to the dining room for pub trivia or live jazz or polka music.
