This Week's Lineup

Happy Hour

HaiFry

HaiFry

Mon-Fri 3-6pm

HaiFry opened on Bardstown Road last year and has been getting a lot of love ever since. The $5 happy hour runs weekdays from 3 to 6pm and covers everything from a 25oz Kirin Ichiban and Chuhai shochu and soda to fried oysters with tonkatsu sauce and kushikatsu skewers, all five dollars. A great excuse to see what all the hype is about.

Pets4Life Louisville is hosting a pet-friendly pajama party movie night at Ten20 Brewery. They plan to donate $1 for every Ten20 Light purchased during the event, making it one of the more fun ways to support a good cause on a Thursday evening. Throw on some pajamas, bring the dog, and settle in for a cozy movie night.
