If you work or spend time in Midtown, remember this important tidbit: rush hour can always turn into happy hour.
On The Kirb, located at 2521 Bagby St. (along with two other locations, in Upper Kirby and Katy), is the ideal place to wait out all the weekday traffic jams from 4-7 pm.
Instead of sitting in traffic, pull up a seat at this sports bar that specializes in organic, local, and scratch-made menu items — for both food and drink.
Special happy hour bites include the organic beef sliders, traditional hummus with house-made pita bread, giant pretzel served with Sriracha queso, and the Kirb cheese board. The baked or fried organic wings in your choice of buffalo, garlic Parmesan, or lemon pepper are always a hit.
Enjoy $2 off beer, wine, and liquor, and score a bottle of house red or white for only $16.
The cocktails shouldn't be missed, either. Relax after work with a Gin Weasley (Bombay Sapphire gin, organic cane syrup, lemon, muddled strawberry, fresh basil, and ginger beer) or a Brojito (Bacardi Silver and coconut rums, organic cane syrup, lime, muddled blackberries, and fresh mint).

This is much better than sitting in a traffic jam.
There are daily specials you'll want to be aware of, too, like Monday's Pizza & Vino deal where you can build your own pizza (up to three toppings) for $10 and get a bottle of house wine for $15. A note about the incredible pizza: It's formed with artisanal Caputo flour that's imported from Napoli, Italy, and then fermented for three days to ensure an authentic taste.
Tuesdays are for Tito's & Tacos, Wednesday is Steak Night, Thursday brings Burgers & Brews, and you can Wine Down on Fridays with half-off all wine bottles. Vegans and vegetarians will find plenty to love on the menu, too.
As long as you're taking note, make sure not to miss On The Kirb's famous weekend brunch, offered each Saturday and Sunday from 11 am-4 pm, and the mimosa towers that offer various fresh juice options.
Discover the beauty of On The Kirb's vast patio that wraps around Bagby Street, offering an incredible escape beneath the sheltering canopy of four massive, age-old oak trees.
On The Kirb Midtown is centrally located for easy access to all three major freeways, and offers convenient valet parking.
Look over the full menu here, and we'll meet you there after work.
