They do it again from 10 pm to 11 pm.
They also offer food specials at different times of the week. For vegans Mondays are a good time to pop in for half-priced veggie items that go on from noon to 10 pm. Burgers and taco lovers are not left out. Tacos are sold at $1 on Tuesdays and burgers at $4 on Wednesdays. Happy hour all the way!
