Sigh. Just as Labor Day Monday, September 7 signals summer’s end, it puts the cap on summer’s daily progressive happy hour at Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails in Jacksonville, Florida. This is the last week to enjoy progressive pricing on craft draft beer, select wines by the glass and happy hour cocktails including classics such as a martini, sloe gin fizz, daiquiri, cucumber Collins, Midwest mule, Pimm’s Cup, French 76, prosecco and Nueva Moda. During Progressive Summer Happy Hour, these drinks are priced at $3 from 3-4 p.m., $4 from 4-5 p.m. and $5 from 5-6 p.m. The bar menu’s regular happy hour pricing resumes from 6-7 p.m. each night. On Friday and Saturday, however, regular happy hour pricing is in effect from 10 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. closing time. Could be Moxie’s way of saying not to let time slip away while sipping away.
Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails chef Tom Gray and chef Kevin Sbraga of soon-to-open restaurant Sbraga & Company – both in Jacksonville, Florida -- are uniting to co-host a collaborative dinner on Saturday, August 29.
