three ways to dine out

A selection of live music, wine tastings, social events and other restaurant happenings in our neighborhood.

1. Half-price cocktails, free hugs

The People’s Last Stand opened in Mockingbird Station in October. Every Wednesday, they offer half-price classic cocktails, and these are some fancy beverages. Try the thyme bomb, made with Ketel One, St. Germain and watermelonthyme syrup. Be sure to go back on Saturday for “everyone is special” night with free hugs from owner Kartik. 5319 E. Mockingbird Lane, Suite 210 214.370.8755 thepeopleslaststand.com

2. Sandwiches for men

Monday night is not for sandwich amateurs at Neighborhood Services Tavern. That’s when the kitchen staff comes up with a new “Man’wich.” Concoctions have included the fried rock shrimp and hake po’boy, the “pork 4-way” and the “barbecue collision.” They’re enormous and ridiculously delicious. The question is: Do you feel manly enough to take one on? As Dirty Harry said, “Well, do ya, punk?”
