Happy Hour 

It’s happened again: you get home on Tuesday night and you can’t even enjoy your evening — your mind is consumed with the number of work days still cock-blocking you from weekend freedom. Your dog, meanwhile, is so terribly thrilled that you’ve walked back through the magical front door. She has been waiting all day for this moment. And when it happens, it is the most blissful event that she can ever remember experiencing. YOU are home.

Celebrate Tuesdays with your favorite canine: take her out for a night at Matty’s on the Drive at 2426 Wilton Dr. in Wilton Manors. You’ll relax with a much-needed $2 gold margarita, $3 vodka, or $5 premium drink while she’s treated to puppy refreshments by local groomers/animal rescuers, Kritters with a K. (Do drop Kritters a donation while you’re mingling. They’re doing the good work by taking in homeless dogs and giving them a chance at the sweet life.) Matty’s is great for humans, too. The new Wilton Manors watering hole doesn’t just boast drink specials and puppy love, it’s staffed with familiar faces you’ve met through the years at the Alibi and the Birdcage. So it’s sort of like Cheers, but, ya’ know, gay. Check out Matty’s nightly specials at mattysonthedrive.com, or call 954-564-1799. — By Jamie Laughlin
