Iven's on the Bay: Happy Hour Review

We went to Iven's on the Bay last night for happy hour. The bar wasn't very busy when we arrived at 5pm, and they have a nice variety of tap beers of the half price type. I will be going back for the great service...we had three different people waiting on us and making sure we had full waters and were satisfied with our appetizers and drinks. My new favorite appetizer is the tempura fried mushrooms with truffle aioli washed down with a $2.50 ice cold, Surly Pale Ale tap beer. I will be going back to Iven's and reviewing their supper menu later this summer. You can find the Happy hour deals below:
