Mumbles: The Kelly green awning on the corner of E. 17th and Third Avenue lures passersby to dine outside on warm afternoons, but the bar at Mumbles is merely a murmur in the area’s burgeoning nightlife scene. The sprinkling of older regulars and locals who frequent its bar space certainly aren’t at the geriatric level to denote the name Mumbles, but if it’s fraternity excitement you seek, head a few blocks north or south. Mumbles is best for a hearty meal like hot soup before a frigid night of bar-hopping, or for an outdoor café experience in springtime. You can’t go wrong with daily drink specials or Sunday’s Pasta Night: Your $13 will leave you with a doggy bag, and during football season you can win a free meal. If you’ve just moved in nearby, trust us, this neighborhood rendition of TGIFridays is worth checking out. |
