Booze / Chow Happiest Hour: Loretta's Northwesterner

What are you doing in one hour? Well, whatever it is, change plans because happy hour at Loretta's starts at 3 pm! They've got $1 Hamm's, $3 burgers, and, according to this week's Happiest Hour column, cans of Cheez Whiz on the wall:

About Loretta: The name connotes a vivid figure—a lovely young woman in a gingham nightgown, with autumn hair arranged in piles and men always falling in love with her because they can't have her. It's also the name of Scott's mother, and her framed photo sits on a shelf behind the bar alongside a couple cans of Cheez Whiz and a mounted collection of fishing flies Scott made in sixth grade.

Also on display: Laura Wright's sculptural textile "Survival Blanket: Flash by Sea," a chunky mass of stitched-together life jackets. Her past works include utility fabrics embedded with scythes, boxing gloves, and flasks filled with actual whiskey.
