Burger and beer night

Every Thursday at Chapter One: The Modern Local in Downtown Santa Ana, you can order a DE-licious 9 oz. burger and score yourself a select draft craft beer for only 25 cents! While the live DJ spins, you can also enjoy $4 Berry Jameson shots, $2 Old Chubs and $6 Moscow Mules.

Let's get back to the burgers though. Chapter One's burgers are all made with local and seasonal fare so you know you're getting the freshest ingredients while you chow down. Plus, these aren't ordinary burgers - you can choose from your typical beef, or go adventurous with the lamb, pork belly or brisket!

Chapter One is located at 227 N Broadway in Santa Ana. They are open until 2 a.m. every night.
