Look forward to Mojito Mondays, Tequila Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, Fusion Friday, Sparkling Saturday, and Saving Sunday. And if you can’t make it in early, go to the reverse happy hour Friday and Saturday nights with food and drink specials served from 10 to 11 p.m.
Zimzala specializes in traditional American favorites--it’s too difficult to name our top choices—but know that Chef Roy Hendrickson will take good care of your taste buds. (Pictured above, Ketel One Bloody Mary terraine).
