Thursday
GROOVE THROUGH HAPPY HOUR.
Skip the patio Thursdays, and nd your spot inside the Keefer Bar ( 135 Keefer St., thekeeferbar.com). DJs are spinning soul all night, and between 5 p.m. and 7p.m., it’s happy hour: two-for-one food (Peking duck sliders!) and any of the weekly cocktail specials ($5 rosemary gimlets!).
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PIANO MAN.
At Revel Room ( 238 Abbott St., revelroom.ca), live boogie piano accompanies “Sour Hour” most afternoons (variations on the traditional sour cocktail, like the Lime Sorbet or the gin-based Last Word, are just $6 from 4 p.m. to 6p.m.), but stick around Thursday nights for an extended bout of key-tickling as duelling pianists duke it out.
