Esteban’s Happy Hour UYE @ Singer Social Club

This was a great opportunity to try a new bar and meet some new people. Not knowing everyone yet, I had a hard time determining who was there for the event and who was not, but I guess it turns out that pretty much everybody was there for the event? We need nametags for these UYEs, I think. The drinks were strong and the tab was cheap, so even though I didn’t meet any new people, overall I was glad I came.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who supported and showed up to the event at Singer.
This is my second UYE happy hour and couldn’t have been happier to see all these familiar faces plus some new ones! Turnout was much bigger than the first one at Lincoln. It was nice to catch up with everyone after the holidays and find out what’s happening in the city.
Turns out Centro is the new place to check out and everyone did right by heading over after our happy time at Singer. I’m sorry we didn’t join, we just had different plans! I’m thinking this could become a tradition where we plan ahead where to get some good food after drinks, if the bar doesn’t have any.
As for the drinks at Singer, Leslie (bartender and co-​owner) delivered as usual, taking his time to make great cocktails. I’d like to thank Brett (co-​owner) as well for extending the happy hour for a half hour longer!
Looking forward to the next one!

I love Singer social and it was even better with a group of Unilocal friends! I had a great Friday night with really good cocktails and beer + 80’s Fun music! It was very nice to meet some new friends as well! Hope see you soon~

A funky atmosphere with an interesting cocktail menu.
I was only drinking juice tonight because of illness but I read over the cocktail menu and there were several drinks that I would’ve loved to try. The cocktails that my friends were drinking looked great and they all had good things to say about them. I would definitely like to go back and order a cocktail.
The atmosphere is quaint and funky. There is a small stage and a dance floor. It was not in use tonight but I would love to go back when there is a live band.

I’m loving the happy hours that Estaban is setting up. All places I wouldn’t usually go to but have been really great try. These events are getting me out of the usual happy hour rut and a chance to catch up with other Unilocalers.
Singer made some great drinks and they were half off. Bonus– they even extended the time for us.
Look forward to next month Estaban

If you post it… they will come.
18 people came! What a great turnout for Esteban’s second (?) Happy Hour UYE!
I had been told that Singer does some really good drinks and Happy Hour kicks butt! Well this one did for sure. We nearly had the whole place to ourselves because it was happy hour and downtown doesn’t seem to start breathing until I am deep within my Zs.
I enjoyed a few drinks and needed to get some food. Luckily the greatest wings on the face of the earth are just a few doors down! I headed over to Noble and got 2 lbs of wings and some garlic knots! Dropped them on the bar for people to have and we chatted the night away… well until it was over… then we all headed up to Centro… and that my friends is a whole nuther review.
Thanks again Esteban for putting on these Happy Hours!

My wife and I with a bunch of Unilocalers
Atmosphere — 4 stars
Drinks — 5 stars
Service — 5 stars
Background — Esteban’s Happy Hour UYE at the Singer Social Club. It is always great to get together with the Unilocal group.
Atmosphere — A funky place on the edge of downtown. As the name suggest sewing machines and they have a cool wall full of antique models of sewing machines. At one point the heater was pushing out so much heat we had to ask them turn the heat down. Next thing you know ice cubes were forming on the floor vents.
Drinks — This is a cocktail bar but I am a beer drinker and they actually had a good collection of craft beers. I had two different Speakeasy beers. The beers were $ 6 a little on the high end but my wife got free glasses of juices. So all in all it was cheap.
Service — I only dealt with the one bartend and I keep it easy for them with a bottle of beer order and glass of juice. He was polite and speedy. That is what you need in a bartender.
Future — I would go back with a group.
