We’re $1,800 away from our spring campaign goal!
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 by April 26. Your support ensures Dallas Observer can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
Each week City of Ate will give you the lowdown on a local happy hour
in Quittin’ Time, with the details on why you should or shouldn’t take
up the featured bar or restaurant on its drink specials.
Where: VIckery Park, 2810 N. Henderson Ave., 214-827-1432
When: 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday
What: $1 off wells, domestics and drafts. Also, starting at 7 p.m. Friday during Game One of the Rangers-vs.-Yankees American League Championship Series, the bar will offer $2.50 Jägermeister shots every time a Rangers player earns the antlers and $1 off Jäger shots throughout the game. Additionally, the bar offers half-priced food (with the exception of the rib-eye) on Tuesdays.
Why: Because Vickery Park is a great game-watching bar with plenty of screens, yet also manages to maintain the kind of unpretentious, homey, living-room comfy atmosphere that makes even non-sports fans feel welcome, especially on the couches in the lounge area.
Even though we think Jäger tastes like Ny-Quil and wouldn’t drink it if it were free, we’ve got to admit the antler promotion is a great idea. The bottle, if you can look at it without getting queasy, does feature a prominently antlered buck. But we’ll just have to content ourselves with pre-game drinking of dollar-off wells and drafts.
Unless, that is, we can convince the bartender to offer the same game-time special for Cazadores tequila. It is, after all, “The one with the deer on it.”
