Mid-Week Fried Pickles and a Boogie at Lefty's
Ramp things up with pickles, bacon-wrapped peppers and whisky.
Overview
There are after-work watering holes, and then there are after-work watering holes. The first could be anywhere that's not the nine-to-five grind; the second are the type of place you look forward to all day (and sometimes plan your afternoons around). As Petrie Terrace favourite, Lefty's Old Time Music Hall falls into the latter category.
If it's a quick snack that you're after, perusing their small bites menu is recommended, particularly with bacon-wrapped pardon peppers and fried pickles with smoked habanero sauce on offer. They're served up from 5pm Tuesday to Sunday, as is the venue's heftier selection of burgers and po' boys. Plus, if you're not particularly worried about getting home at a reasonable time, the bar's greasy, delicious fare goes down extra nicely with a whisky.
