I’m your huckleberry
Huckleberry Martini, Buckhorn Grill
Normally, I would never recommend a barbecue chain restaurant. In Midtown Sacramento, there’s just so much more to choose from as far as comfort food is concerned. But for Buckhorn Grill, I make an exception because its happy hour drink menu is worth the visit. Take a seat a the well-stocked bar and try the tasty Huckleberry Martini ($6) from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. It’s sweet, yet not overpowering and fruity enough to disguise the heavy pours that I’ve come to know and enjoy about this bar. 1801 L Street, buckhorngrill.com.
