New Open City Happy Hour!

By Mick

Some things in life are just designed to go together.  Patios and summer, burgers and beer, pizza and wine… perfect pairings all of them, and just the tip of the iceberg!  Here at Open City, we’re always looking for new ways to showcase the strengths of all our talents- coffee, bar, and food- and we’re pleased to announce our new Wednesday night mussel happy hour!  On Wednesday nights, join us from 5pm to closing for any of our mussels (red, white, or brew!) paired with a choice selection of red wine, white wine, or a beer for just $12.50.  Our wine and beer list is diverse and always changing, so ask your server for that night’s pairings!

Cheers to the Cure!

In the month of October, most people’s thoughts are drifting toward pumpkins and cider, scarecrows and hayrides, turning leaves and trick-or-treating.  For the friends and family of the millions of women (and men!) whose lives have been affected by breast cancer, it’s a whole other story.

This is a great time to have a drink at Tryst. Whether you're looking for interesting single origin coffees, fine estate teas, seasonally themed craft cocktails, a Tiki classic, refreshing micro-brews, quaffable but not dumbed down wines, or something completely different like Palo Cortado sherry or Carpano Antica formula vermouth, we have you covered.

Our milkshakes are better than ?

Milkshakes, frosteds, velvets, frappes... whatever you call them, we have the best around.
While the name and execution can vary by region, the cold creamy treat is instant refreshment for anyone, anytime.
