A high-energy Jamaican dining room where wings hit with real char and jerk heat instead of basic fry-and-sauce sameness. It’s best used as an early-evening happy-hour-adjacent move: order wings first, add one comfort side, then let the rum-and-reggae vibe carry the rest of the night.
Must-Try Dishes:
jerk chicken, ackee and saltfish, oxtail stew
What makes it special: A high-energy Jamaican menu in a room built for social drinking.

A Korean-American gastropub where bar energy and comfort-forward hits drive the experience more than traditional formality. It shines when you lean into the signature “Korean-meets-NYC” staples and treat it like a high-flavor hang—music up, drinks flowing, and a few must-order plates.
Must-Try Dishes:
Legendary Cheeseburger, Chopped-cheese rice cakes, Honey-butter tater tots
What makes it special: Korean-American pocha energy anchored by signature comfort hits.
8.3
A compact neighborhood bar-restaurant where wings are treated like a real kitchen dish, not a freezer-bag afterthought. It’s the smart happy-hour play when you want a quieter room, a serious burger backup plan, and wings that stay juicy with a proper smoke-and-crisp balance.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sebastian Burger, Blue Cheese Burger, Hand Cut Fries
What makes it special: A beloved neighborhood burger served in a genuinely cozy room.

The Grafton
8.2
A sports-leaning Irish pub that’s best for happy hour wings when you want TVs, a beer-first crowd, and straightforward bar food that delivers with minimal friction. Keep the order classic—wings plus one shareable—and treat it as a pregame anchor rather than a destination dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cheeseburger, Burger with fries, Chicken wings
What makes it special: A late-friendly pub burger that stays dependable under volume.

Must-Try Dishes:
Buffalo Wings, Old Bay Fries, Chicken Sliders
What makes it special: Happy-hour wings in a low-lit, cocktails-first St. Marks room.
