Manhattans are not for the weak. They are sophisticated. You graduate to them. I’ve become a huge fan in the last two years and find myself gravitating towards them. STK, with several locations in the United States, is a perfect mix of sexy bar and upscale restaurant.
But STK also has much more affordable items. Their 5-6-7- promotion includes $5 craft beer, $6 wine and $7 cocktails – including seasonal house favorites. And, don’t forget happy hour specials which vary by location. I know Atlanta’ STK includes $1.50 oysters and clams, $3 shrimp, $4 ceviche, and $4 snow crab claws.
