Happy Hour at McLoone's Hoboken
McLoone's
Happy Hour Menu |
Irish nachos: sliced potato, topped with chili, cheese, onion, and all sorts of other nacho toppings |
We were talking with the bartender tonight, and he showed as their house made pepper infused tequila, pineapple infused rum, limoncello, brandied peaches, and other various aquavit used for specialty cocktails.
We left about 6, but at 7 there was a free beer tasting. Yes I said the beer was going to be free!

Happy Hour at Fleming's
Another fine fall outdoor happy hour. Fleming's must be our favorite restaurant. Looking back in the soon to be defunct Evernote Food app, I've recorded six vistors here. I know there have to be more.
Tonight's tuna tacos had too much shell and over cooked tuna. The empanadas were okay. The pepper jelly on the calamari was good. The burger was good as always - just seemed skimpy as did the lettuce wedge: not like it used to be.
