Hand Roll & Highball Cocktail Happy Hour
Multiple dates available
Sun - Sat - 5:00 PM - 9:45 PM
Introducing our Hand Roll @ High-Ball Cocktail Happy Hour every day 5-6:30pm centered around open-style sushi hand rolls (think sushi tacos) that are two bites of locally sourced and creative genius delivered to your table within seconds of being rolled up. All of our hand rolls are $8 and we feature daily specials of what just landed in our local waters that our fishmonger sources seasonally. We also feature a Wagyu bao bun sourced from our friends at New England Wagyu farms. And what is happy hour without a great deal on drinks? Our bar team has created a fun selection of High-Ball cocktails focused on using high quality spirits topped with Badger Beverages, a local craft soda purveyor. All of our High-Ball cocktails are priced at $10

Very good deal for Happy Hour- the food was excellent and came out quickly, but the bar/drink service was slower-They did apologize and give an extra sushi dish for that which was appreciated. I would definitely go back and recommend:
