Specialty cocktails are $8, a $2 discount from the regular cost for that and other specialty cocktails. It’s $6 for your choice of premium vodka martinis, $5 for classic rye Manhattans, and half-price for draft beer, wine by the glass and white sangria. And the whole bar menu is full of tapas and other discounted menu items, all under $10.

COMING UP

— Our pal Hoyt Hill of Village Wines will host a Champagne tasting, 6 pm Thursday, June 19 right here at Ombi. Featured wines will be from Henriot, William Fevre and Bouchard Pere et Fils. The tasting is $10, and if you stay for dinner afterward, you’ll receive a 10% discount off your meal. Please make reservations—our last wine tasting sold out!—by calling Ombi, 320–5350.

‘Til next time,

Laura Wilson
