Allium Offers Half Off Drinks When It's Above 90 Degrees

2012_06_24_allium.jpg We're big fans of Allium around here (seriously, we dare you to have a miso butterscotch milkshake and not fall for this place), so we can highly recommend two promotions they're running this summer.

Now through Labor Day they're running a Summertime Scorcher special, which gets you half off cocktails and draft beer when it's 90 degrees or higher this summer. They'll announce when the promo is available on their Twitter feed @AlliumChicago with the #SummertimeScorcher hashtag. And with Thursday already forecast to be 100 degrees, you're probably going to get to take advantage of this deal a lot.

The second promotion is also a really good deal. All throughout July, you can get the fabulous house-made hot dog and a Goose Island Sofie for $16. The hot dog is seriously good, and it's smoked, boiled, and charred to give it a nice crackle, then served in a poppy-seed bun. Condiments like relish and beer mustard come on the side in adorable little squeeze bottles so you can dress the dog to your liking.
