Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too.

A Visit to King Leroy for holiday drinks and vibes

 

A Sugar Cookie Martini from King Leroy! 


We love a good holiday-themed bar, and King Leroy in SLU is no exception. They went the extra mile to make their bar merry and bright! The little touches of magic were everywhere we looked. From the Santa statue at the door, to the famous leg lamp on the bar from the classic A Christmas Story movie, and the ornaments hanging from the holly from the Christmas Vacation movie. Even the bathroom was decked out in full Christmas with a cheery tree and a sparkling deer with antlers. 

My husband and I were the first customers of the day, so we had the bar to ourselves for most of our visit. You order at the bar and then grab a table. I was super excited to get my cocktail served in a moose glass just like the ones they use in Christmas Vacation when Clark and Cousin Eddy are drinking Eggnog. And the best part? They gave me the glass to take home. They said they had too many and I could keep mine. The bartender was so nice! 

They have some signature cocktails for the holidays. I chose a Sugar Cookie Martini. It was similar to eggnog since it had Bailey's Irish Cream and Vodka. My husband enjoyed a classic Old Fashioned. To eat for our lunch, he had the Chicken Sandwich with Tots, and I had some Chicken Wings with the best Ranch ever. 

I had so much fun taking photos all over the festive bar, enjoying my boozy drink, and grubbing on some wings!
