Every hour is happy hour at Wine Loft. Born out of the unrelenting love for fine wine and good music, this nightspot has been a crowd favorite. Relax, listen to music and take the edge off with a few drinks. It also offers private parties and hosts events—Tuesdays feature half-price bottles of wine, and Wednesdays are the medical and education professionals’ night. (Teachers, nurses and doctors, for example, get 25 percent off their checks!) And of course, there’s live music every Friday!
