Live Music on the Lawn | Every Saturday starting May 10 | 6:00-9:00PM

Every Saturday from May 10th, till the end of September, Bakery Square is featuring your favorite local musicians for a concert on the lawn— trust us, you’ll want it on your radar. Free live music, good weather, and grassy lawns? That’s your Saturday night sorted.

Happy hour isn’t just a time period—it’s a whole vibe, especially when you’re looking to keep things fun without emptying your wallet. At Bakery Square, there’s no shortage of great spots to sip, snack, and save a little cash while you’re at it.

If you’re into laid-back energy with a stylish twist, City Kitchen has your back. Every day from 4 to 6 PM, they’re pouring $5 drafts, offering $7 select wines, and knocking $5 off any cocktail. Whether you're a fan of a well-crafted drink or just there for the atmosphere, it’s an easy choice for a chill evening. Craving something cozy and a little upscale?

Head over to Alta Via Pizzeria, also serving happy hour daily from 4 to 6 PM. Their $8 small plates are perfect for sharing—or not, no judgment. Pair those bites with a $5 draft or an $8 wine or cocktail, and you've got yourself a seriously satisfying (and affordable) Italian moment.

For something a little funkier, Tako Torta brings bold flavors and good times. Their happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday (4-6 PM of course), and you’ll find $7 classic margaritas, $6 select wines, and $6 tacos. Not to mention, Tako has the best guac array, which somehow gets even better during happy hour! Gotta love the kind of spot where you come for the drinks, stay for the tacos, and somehow still keep your budget in check.

If you find yourself near Bakery Square around lunchtime, do yourself a favor and swing by AVP. From 11:30 AM to 3 PM, they’re serving up one of the tastiest lunch deals in town: a hot, delicious slice of pizza plus your pick of specialty salad or parmesan fries—all for just $12. It’s fast, it’s satisfying, and it won’t put you in a food coma before your afternoon meeting. Bonus points: their outdoor seating and free Wi-Fi make it easy to turn lunch into a breezy little work sesh (or just pretend you're working while soaking up the sun—we won’t tell).
