Grayze

Grayze has a really great Happy Hour deal that occurs from 3 to 6:30 Monday through Friday.

They have great deals on three of their sliders and fries as well as a Happy Hour salad. In addition to the food items they also have specials on Beer, Wine, Wells and a Cocktail of the Day (the day I went was a Green Goddess, a refreshing mix of cucumber and lime.) 

I have yet to see what the actual inside of the building looks like, but I sat outside on the back patio with my dog. (There are two patios! So much space!) They staff here are all super friendly, they kept coming over to my dog and making sure she was doing okay and if she needed water or anything, being really considerate. 

At the time that I arrived, there wasn't any one else on the back Patio, it was about 5:30 and there started to be a crowd picking up a little closer to the dinner time. The kitchen was quick to get my food out to me.

My waitress recommended that I try the Chicken Bahn Mi Slider, and I wanted to try the Brisket, so I got those two and an order of fries. The food came out fairly fast and the quality was top notch. I liked the Brisket, but the Chicken slider was to die for. It was just the perfect balance of salty and savory. The sizes of both sliders, in addition to the fries were just enough to leave me overly full. 

I hear that they have a great Brunch buffet on Sundays, and I can't wait to check it out in the near future! This place is likely to be a favorite.

There is a lot going for Grayze, it's got a great location and a great atmosphere along with some really delicious drinks and eats!

Review:
I went in on a Downtown Tuesday, expecting a Happy Hour, unfortunately their recent opening meant that they didn't actually have time to set up a Happy Hour menu yet. (the bar manager did promise it was coming within the month!) 
I asked the bartender what his favorite thing to make was, and after telling me it was a Slow Gin Fizz, I told him, while that drink is great, I was more int he mood for a Old Fashioned or a Manhattan. He set me up with an Old Fashioned. Then I sat to enjoy my cocktail while waiting for my friend. 
The bartender and the bar manager were both very friendly. They would include me in their conversations (most of the time they just involve things they were putting on the menu and ways to reduce loss on fresh fruit and whatnot). While it was conversation you wouldn't typically hear in a bar, it was fascinating that I was able to see what kind of goes on behind the scenes of a bar and that they staff was comfortable talking about it, though that might have had something to do with the fact that I was the only patron in the store since they opened 15 minutes prior to my arriving. 
I finished the cocktail, paid ten dollars for it all together. Which is a little pricey for my tastes (since i like to frequent happy hours) but the drink was good, the venue beautiful and the company pleasant. It's definitely a bar to go back to! Next time though, it will be when they have the Happy Hour up and running. :P
(Also; Tip! Check out the Bathroom, It's probably the nicest bathroom I've ever been in.)

The Blue Box

The Blue box is always a great place to hit up for Happy Hour. While it is a bit more pricey than most places (alot in the Downtown Area have craft cocktails for $5) the ones here are $6 during their Happy Hour, and they typically have 4 cocktail options to chose from as well as House Wine, Draft and Wells specials. 
The Happy Hour time, when I happened to go on one Tuesday, is from 5-8, there is typically a work crowd there. People of all ages, usually office workers that stop here for an after work cocktail. 
There menus rotate seasonally, and they always have delicious and amazing cocktails. Tip: the further down you go on the Menu, the Boozier the cocktail! They always make great drinks, though they are a bit pricey. ranging from $9 - $12 dollars in the prices. They do have a couple of house infusion shots that are interesting. 
On Thursdays they have themed nights and the have DJ's on Monday.David Bowie given his recent passing. 
The themed nights are pretty cool. Currently they are dedicated to 
On the weekends, this place is PACKED.
It's great for Bar hoping. Get food somewhere at the pearl early, then come here, Cured, Southerliegh, Stay Golden, La Gloria, Tacos and Tequila, the are really does have alot going for it!

The Brooklynite

The Brooklynite is a bar that knows exactly what it is doing, with Bartenders that know who they are, know they are good at their jobs and rely on nothing else.
I went in on a Monday night with a friend. They do have Happy hour from . Then on Monday they have Cheap ass Monday! Old Fashions and Daiquiris $5.00! So great deals. They also serve CORNDOGS (That based on some pictures look great, haven't actually ordered one yet).
Tuesday they have Tiki Tuesday, with Tiki themed cocktails that all run about 10.00 a pop.
Their regular menu consists of both originals and classics that run from 8-11 dollars each. 
My friend and I both order two cocktails each. His were both of the menu, and were very delicious and to his liking. My first one was off the Menu, also good, but a little too smokey for my tastes (Not a big Mezcal fan, and it had Mezcal in it.) The second drink I had was off the menu, because business started picking up a little later into the night. 
Though you're more than welcome to order off the menu, and probably would on a night that they are busy. It seems though that during their off hours the bartenders are ore than willing to make you something of their own creation, or that was on a previous menu that they really enjoy. They ask you questions, see what you like. "Do you like Boozy, or light? Refreshing, or Heavy? What Spirit do you typically drink?" Very friendly and very nice bartenders here at the Brookylnite. 
With that being said they do have a bit of a mouth on them. There was a lot of cursing going on on this Monday night, the language might offend some people, it didn't effect me much. In fact I think it somehow added to the vibe that the Brooklynite is all about. "I do what I want." I mean isn't that what the rebels on Prohibition were? People that liked drinking, having a cocktail, talking with their friends, and not letting some law rule their lives?
