Choose any $4 Michigan made beer or any HopCat( Under $6 ) beer to go with your delicious burger. An unbeatable deal! NOTE: Sorry to be stingy, but look at the name of the special - it's a Burger and a BEER - no substitutions, pretty please. No cokes, lemonades, iced teas, etc. We're a beer bar - we promote the enjoyment of beer. You get a burger and you get a beer and it's 6 bucks before 6 PM. ALSO: To be clear, this is a happy hour special, therefore- NO MINORS. When was the last time you took your kid to happy hour - Shuh! As if! AND LASTLY: Only 1 per person - no ordering for friends, co-workers, spouses, ex-spouses, your attorney, etc. If they really wanted the special, they should have been on time like you were. 'Nuff said.
