The blue cheese and onion burger is the signature order, and the pozole is the menu's wildcard, the dish that keeps regulars guessing what else might show up on a given week. The bar runs real day-of-week specials rather than a static happy hour: a $10 burger all afternoon and evening on Mondays, a $3 a la carte specialty taco on Tuesdays while supplies last, mac and cheese on Wednesdays until it's gone, and a rotating $16.50 chef special Thursday through Saturday.
Weekend brunch runs 11am-3pm both days, dine-in or to-go, and delivery is handled exclusively by Cut Cat Couriers, a local bike courier outfit -- the bar says 100% of tips and delivery fees go straight to the cyclists.
