Republic Social House

Republic, a place with deals and specials going on every day of the week. Monday night they offer 45 cent wings as well as poker starting at 8pm, Tuesday they have $1 Tacos, Wednesday is industry special night, these include phenomenal drink specials during happy hour. Thursday night is for “Dirty South Trivia” as someone who has experienced this night, before I will have to say it was by far one of the funniest nights of my life. The vulgar Q & A’s lightened the atmosphere and made the night one to remember. Friday/Saturday night they offer a fresh rotation of Dj’s playing all requests from the house and people. Their core offering comes on Saturdays and Sundays as they offer a brunch special which include, Bottomless Bloody Mary’s, Mimosas, and Screwdrivers. By far, though the coolest aspect of Republic Social House is their fully loaded rooftop bar. There are multiple TVs open as well and covered seating. The rooftop overlooks the Oakland Cemetery.
