URBAN BUTCHER ADDS HAPPY HOUR STARTING JULY 2 IN SILVER SPRING

Urban Butcher, the new restaurant, butcher shop and meat cellar in downtown Silver Spring, is adding Happy Hour for summer. Starting Wednesday, July 2, stop in between 5:00 and 7:30 PM Monday-Friday (11:30 AM - 7:30 PM on weekends) for Happy Hour at the bar, or on the patio (coming soon) and communal table.

Choices on the new Happy Hour Menu include $5 specialty cocktails like the White Sangria, Dirty Gibson, Lavender Margarita or Boulevardier.  Or choose from $5 select wines by the glass and $5 rotating draft beers.  Bar bites include Beef Empanadas ($4), Butcher’s Meatballs & Melted Provolone ($7), Smoked Bluefish Rillette ($5) and the Happy Hour Meat Cellar Board ($15). Those searching for something heartier have $10 Butcher Sandwiches to choose from. Prosciutto Cotto & Provolone, Thick-cut House Pastrami, Hickory Bourbon Pulled Pork BBQ & Smoked Mozzarella and the Butcher’s Burger are among the choices, and each sandwich includes fries.

For the 4th of July weekend, Thursday's Happy Hour will start at 3:00 PM, and Urban Butcher will host an all-day Happy Hour on July 4. They will also be serving brunch from 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Independence Day.

URBAN BUTCHER LAUNCHING BRUNCH THIS SATURDAY IN SILVER SPRING (PHOTO)

One of the newest additions to the Silver Spring dining scene, Urban Butcher, is launching brunch service this Saturday, February 8. Brunch will now be served every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM, more generous hours than often found at brunches ending at 3:00.

If you're tired of the usual brunch offerings, Urban Butcher is the place for you. A quick read of their brunch menu reveals a fresh approach, featuring dishes like wild prawns in olive oil, Chinese barbecue pork ribs, pate, and artisan cheese. Traditionalists need not worry, however; brioche french toast, scrambled eggs, biscuits and omelets are all there, as well.

Chef/Owner Raynold Mendizabal says, "we want to give the Silver Spring community the means to spend quality time with family, friends and neighbors in a relaxing environment while enjoying good food.”
