This Boston bar offers 'progressive happy hour'
Steph here , your friendly neighborhood cheapskate. A Charlestown bar is trying to incentivize afternoon foot traffic with a "progressive happy hour." The intrigue: The specials at Sullivan's Public House can't include alcohol because of the state's liquor restrictions, but it can subsidize food during lulls. State of plate: The bar offers a free appetizer with a drink, but only between 4-4:15pm Monday through Thursday. There's a 75% discount on an appetizer from 4:15-4:30pm, then a 50% discount from 4:30-5pm. Between 5 and 6pm, apps are 25% off if you buy a drink. What I got: A small plate of bourbon glazed ribs and some pigs in a blanket in the last hour, alongside a couple of $15 espresso martinis. With the discount, they cost $12 and $10.50, respectively. Be smart: If you're trying to save money, don't get suckered into buying drinks you didn't want for some cheap eats. I was planning on meeting a friend over drinks anyway, so the happy hour felt worth it.
