O’Rourke’s Public House

Current local business information lists recurring daily specials including half-price bone-in wings on Monday, weekday happy-hour periods and rotating drink specials.

The general promotion is current, but I could not independently verify all individual prices from O’Rourke’s own current website, so I would confirm before making a trip specifically for a deal. O’Rourke’s Public House

Recent August promotions included:

$6 32-oz domestic drafts

These were advertised by Trackside in late August, so they are very recent. However, I cannot yet verify that every one continues throughout September. Treat these as CALL-AHEAD deals rather than guaranteed recurring specials. (FindGlocal)

GRANGER

Brasserie 23

Monday–Friday, 3–6 PM
23% off the Apéro menu

Verified current directly from Brasserie 23. (Brasserie 23)

The Pitt Stop Sports Bar & Grill

The restaurant currently advertises both daily food specials and daily drink specials.

The existence of the specials is verified, but its current website search result does not expose the individual prices. I would not rely on older prices without checking first. (The Pitt Stop Sports Bar & Grill)

UNVERIFIED OR QUESTIONABLE OLDER DEALS

Franky’s Tacos still appears to promote specials, but I could not independently verify the complete old Monday-through-Sunday price list from a current first-party source. I would not assume the previous $7.99–$10.99 prices are still accurate. Franky’s Tacos

Flamingo’s $1 Wednesday tacos are mentioned in current local business information, but I could not verify the promotion from a current first-party restaurant page. Flamingo’s Supermarket & Mexican Restaurant

Pedro’s discounted Monday and Thursday tacos continue to be mentioned by diners, but the exact current price is not verified. Pedro’s Family Restaurant

Catch 22’s Monday cheeseburger-and-fries deal is still mentioned in local information, but I couldn’t verify the current price directly. Catch 22 Pub & Grub
