<p>ABOUT RED CANARY:</p>
<p>The gastropub trend—where bars offer quality pub grub along with a choice selection of beer and cocktails—arguably reaches its zenith with the Red Canary . Chef Rick Spiros serves up a wide range of gourmet twists on old classics, such as a mussel and smoked sausage jambalaya with saffron aioli, and sushi-grade scallops on a bed of goat cheese and red pepper grits. And to wet your whistle, the bar is stocked with a hand-pick range of wines, domestic and import beers (including some excellent Belgian-style ales), and artisanal cocktails.</p>
<p>What’s more, it’s all served in the Red Canary’s stylish lounge, with a faux-tin ceiling 30 feet above, exposed brick walls, and shabby chic furniture. Or, come springtime, head out to dine in the expansive 2,000 square-foot garden patio planted with lush green ivy and imported Italian olive trees.</p>
<p>For their high-end menu, the Red Canary’s prices are surprisingly recession-friendly. And with this limited-time Swoop you can devour up to $50 worth of libations and bar food for just $20. Grab this deal now—your taste buds, friends, and Valentine&#8217;s date will thank you later.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Sarah Vargo</p>
