Spring is officially here, with its lovely 50 degree weather. Anyway, buds blooming in Westport makes us think of one of the most famous patios in town, which belongs to one of the best bars in town. I talked with Harry's Bar and Tables bartender Sonya Lamberg, who confirms that with more people on the patio during the spring, "that means more at happy hour."

Harry's (no relation to the equally good Harry's Country Club) offers a happy hour seven days a week.
Wine is half-off every day until 7 p.m. Lamberg rattled off more than a dozen varieties --  cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, semillon, merlot, pinot grigio, pinot blanc to name a few. All come in wines by the glass. Champagne by the bottle is also half-off.

Glasses of red sangria are 1/2 price and all beers on tap are $1 off. Harry's has a dozen true pub beers on tap including Guinness, New Castle, Stella, a rotating Belgium, Boulevard Single-Wide, Wheat and Pale Ale. Lamberg also said they still have a little of the Boulevard Irish Ale.

Three menu items are half-priced each happy hour. Lamberg said the items rotate daily but usually include gumbo, spinach dip, chips and guacamole or jambalaya along with a healthier food like house salads and soups.

Harry's opens at 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and at 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. There's also a reverse happy hour Monday through Thursday, with the same deals as above from midnight to 3 a.m. The kitchen closes at 2 a.m. every night.
