For most of the service industry, it is another day, another dollar right now…. But with summer in full swing, there’s still time to take advantage of the 15+ hours of sunlight after you clock out. Head over to one of these late-night Jackson Hole staples and get a taste of post-work grub.
If you happen to get off work early…
Don’t pass up Cuttys’ happy hour, which runs from Monday to Friday from 4-6 pm. “Serving the food [they] grew up on,” Cuttys boasts, Philadelphia flair is few and far between in the mountain west. So stick to your guns and order one of Cuttys’ Philly cheesesteaks — which range from the original steak, cheese and grilled onions to their buffalo chicken Philly — before 9 pm.
Itching to catch a post-work sunset?
Your best bet is just south of town. The Bird’s back porch is a local favorite for sunset junkies and beer lovers alike. Go for their classic wings and spice them up with ghost peppers or Carolina reapers, or get The Works — a bacon, cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms — on one of their 9 ounce ground brisket burgers. “The Bird is a laid back spot with a staff of humans who really and truly give a damn about you having a good time,” they say, and we couldn’t agree more.
Grabbing a quick, post-work bite before heading to the Silver Dollar for Bluegrass Tuesday?
Look no further than right across Broadway — where Pinky G’s serves fresh pizza from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Our favorite? The Funky Chicken — fresh basil pesto, ricotta, mozz, chicken, artichoke hearts and red onions.
A long day’s work isn’t complete without a cool drink to wash your shift down.
Taste summer with The Liquor Store’s current sloshie selection. Their mango berry smash — made with wild berries, pomegranate, mango and gin — will be your new go-to for a post-work river float. The Summer Mirage — which includes mango, margarita and whiskey — is a tropical twist on the classic margarita.
