Happy Hour in Bridgeport, CT



Two-dollar Bud draft at the pizza place; plus they got Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers in baskets on the bar, right out of a bulk container of Goldfish that looks and pours like a giant milk carton. All the liquor behind the bar is economy size. R asked, “If you were a small person, how would you be able to pour those?” These are hefty jugs. “I’ve never seen bottles that big in a bar before.” The man does a hefty pour for the yapping dads-on-the-loose in here.  He seems like he’s not getting around to us, he’s ignoring us, but he isn’t. He’s there right when we need him, without making a big deal about it, like a good father. He discounts our drinks for no reason.
