If you thought Stratus was only for the late night scene, think again. The Old City lounge is launching a new happy hour this week that will have you looking forward to Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for reasons other than the weekend.

Stratus Rooftop Lounge’s happy hour will be available from 5–8 PM, Wednesdays–Fridays. Sip on $5 call drinks or house wines, or opt for a $5 glass of select bubbly. Also included in the new happy hour are $8 specialty cocktails. If you want to step up your happy hour game, enjoy half-price bottles from the bottle service menu.

If you’d like something to nibble on while you sip, Stratus has a number of flatbreads and snacks that are all half-price during happy hour. Munch on Kettle Popped Popcorn in flavors like chicken-curry, truffled, parmesan, or garlic-herb butter, or grab some pretzels with grainy mustard and cheese sauce. Flatbread options include Jamon Serrano & Manchego with crushed tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, Margherita with housemade mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and micro basil, and Roasted Local Wild Mushrooms with garlic cream, gruyere cheese, thyme, and truffle oil.

Stratus is open 5 PM until 2 AM, Wednesday–Friday and 7 PM to 2 AM on Saturdays.
