While Roustabout is all cool minimalism, Bono- bo is cozy and unflashy. The exposed brick work, tucked-away tables, and large wood- fired oven will ward off the November chill while enticing you with the smell of bak- ing pizza. Tex-Mex Tuesday A wine-only diet can come with some lifestyle risks. Thankfully, many Port- land eateries are offering delicious meal deals in addition to cut-price beverages. If you can find a seat at Tomaso's dimin- utive bar on Hampshire Street on a Tues- day night, then be sure to treat yourself to their Taco Tuesday deal. The space is invariably hopping with a young, noisy crowd of locals and service-industry folk, nursing beers elbow-to-elbow. Expect such unusual delights as cheeseburger ja- lapeno and Shepherd’s Pie tacos, liberally sprinkled with cheese. It may not be Mi- chelin star, but for only $3 for two tacos and $2 16-ounce Tecate cans, you’ll be sitting pretty for only $5. Wednesday in the wild west I n years of yore, most Portlanders labeled Wharf Street as a cobbled hellscape of tourists and bachelorette parties, dutifully avoiding its bars until the arrival of fall. The time has come to cast our collective snobbery aside and embrace the unique charms of this section of the Old Port. Bonfire Country Bar peddles an up- roarious pseudo-Southern vibe, complete with rustic decor and blaring country mu- sic, seven days a week. Head down for some midweek relief and enjoy $2 drafts chased by $1 house whiskey from 4 to 7 p.m ev- ery day. Before long, the alcohol will have you craving the crispy, greasy, and some- what sweet bacon like never before. Lucky for you, it’s free and unlimited. “I’ve never actually seen someone eat more than two servings, to be honest,” says the barmaid, dressed in the standard uniform of plaid shirt and Daisy Dukes. “It’s pretty salty stuff!” Health risks aside, Bonfire is some light relief in a city full of studiously styl- ish and understated bars. After all, this is the only place in town you can relax with cheap beer and free food while reclining in a Western saddle. Thursdays are thirsty With only one more work day standing between you and the weekend, Thursday nights can extend further into the witch- ing hours. Settle yourself into the warm hubbub of The Corner Room & Grill on the corner of Exchange Street to enjoy their long-standing and often overlooked happy hour deal. House wines, Prosecco, and a rotating draught beer are all only $3 from 4 to 6 p.m. Even better, you can pair your apéritif with a selection of free small-plate snacks delivered fresh from the kitchen. If you’re not ready to go home once the last crumb has been devoured, make the short walk to Rosie’s on Fore Street–the place where happy hour never ends (at least until close at 1 a.m.)–for $1.50 pints of Miller High Life and free baskets of buttery popcorn.
