Earl's keeps its weekday happy-hour rhythm on the waterfront. Thursday it's ten-dollar Patrón mango margaritas; Friday the spicy pineapple ritas we told you about last week are back at nine, both in the four-to-six window, both with a dollar off liquor, beer, and wine on the side. Daily specials excepted, as always.

And the same handy fact still applies: Friday's happy hour lets out at six, ninety minutes before Shakespeare's curtain up the road. Some plans just build themselves.
