Madison Park Café puts the “hour” in “happy hour,” with exactly one hour of reduced prices on wine, beer, and appetizers each night from 5pm to 6pm.

Pair your half-off house wine with half-off house appetizers, like pommes frites or warm marinated olives. Or choose a summery brew (Fat Tire, 1554) or a crisp white wine, for under $4.

And make a note for next Monday: the cafe has introduced a “First Monday” deal, when you can sip on $10 wine flights, from wines normally sold only by the bottle. (Pssst: Madison Park Cafe is one of the rare restaurants that has a wine retail license, so you can pick your favorite and take it home with you.)
