North 45 Pub

If you're not careful, one might miss this new'ish addition to 21st.

You shouldn't miss this gem.

Went there after work with a couple of friends & we wound up staying longer than expected. Excellent selection of beers, wine & cocktails along with quite an interesting mashup of food on their menu. Like mussels? If not, try their excellent fries or burgers.

Writing about this place has made my mouth water. I think I'll go there after work today.

North 45 is definitely a step up from your traditional neighborhood bar, yet it manages to keep the "everybody knows your name" feel. The happy hour buzz wasn't overwhelming and the menu selection was generous - I highly recommend the chorizo mussels. The way to a girl's heart on a Friday night - a white cosmo - yummy!

A co-worker and I stopped into North 45 to give happy hour a try. We got there right after it opened (4pm) and within an hour, the place was hoppin'. Happy hour primarily consists of appetizer deals - which was fine for us. We pretty much just stuck to beers, but the cocktail menu was interesting enough that I'll probably try one of their signature cocktails next time around. I should mention that we were approached by one of the owners within an hour or two after we got there and had a quick chat - which was great! The personal touch went such a long way with me that I'll go back for that reason alone.
