Description: Located downtown, the Met is known for its
top-notch steaks and freakishly expensive menu (the bartender estimates
that each dinner client spends $100).
Sights and sounds: A brisk yet effective staff, well-dressed
older dinner-goers, big-band jazz so peppy you’ll wish you were
dead.
Happy hours: Mon–Fri 3–6 pm.
Happy-hour drink specials: $5.95 select glasses of wine,
$4.95 well drinks, $10 select split of champagne, rotating beer
discounts (prices vary).
Happy-hour food specials: Three beef dip sandwiches with jus
($2), the works burger ($5), bacon-wrapped tenderloin skewers ($5), and
more.
Cheapskates warning: The happy-hour food specials require a
one-drink purchase, but don’t think you can get off easy. Soda and
coffee are laughably overpriced ($4 each), so you may as well just
order a Rainier or Coors Light bottle ($4 each).
