The weekend is thunderous.
To commemorate a new summer menu on the back patio (the burger's got tamarind caramelized onions and pineapple-bacon relish), there's a new happy hour…at the lounge inside. The indoor incentive: a free booze flight to start, then half-off drinks after that. Sunlight's overrated, anyway.

You've seen your share of studio-lot wine tastings, but this one has a covert cigar lounge—where a pro will hand-roll your Cuban seed tobacco for $5 a pop. And speaking of pop…wouldn't be a terrible idea to stock up for Father's Day.
From now on, Monday isn't just the day you trudge back to work. Monday's the day you taste that week's Rustic Canyon burger specialty—maybe with wild mushroom ragu and Crescenza, or maybe with tomato, burrata and confit bacon—and a choice cold brew. Suddenly, Mondays are almost bearable.
They're in the mood to try new things at Corkbar, so in exchange for your insightful criticism on shrimp tacos or stuffed skate wing, they'll only charge you $2 a plate. Throw in enough wine, and you'll be trying out some other new things later.
