Old Major, which has been packing in fans since it opened almost six months ago, will introduce an extension of its hours today — the better to accommodate a new summer happy hour. “Our new happy hour menu is much more food-driven,” says Justin Brunson, executive chef, in announcing the switch. “We wanted guests to be able to sample our food and drinks at an affordable price point. Our cocktails, wines and beers complement our seasonal snack menu that we will now offer daily from 3 to 6 p.m.” Keep reading for a preview of the selection.
