The Perfect Setting for Online Dating Meetups? Happy Hour at Chef David Burke’s 9 New Jersey Restaurants
Online dating? Looking for the perfect spot for your first meetup? Try Happy Hour at any one of Chef David Burke’s collection of nine unique, award-winning restaurants in New Jersey. (Details below.)
Happy Hours DB-style are classy, affordable, delicious, time sensitive and held midweek. Enjoy imaginative artisan cocktails, premium wines, craft beers and mouth-watering small plates at a fraction of the cost. Happy Hour times work in your favor too. Head there straight after a workday during the week. All are conveniently located in North, Central and at the Jersey Shore. If a match is going to happen, it will definitely happen at one of Chef Burke’s iconic restaurant’s locations! Especially during the winter holidays when the restaurants are decorated with romantic twinkling lights and magic is in the air.
Each restaurant provides a sexy, sensory experience with original works of art, creative concepts, top of the line amenities, superior sound systems, innovative, world class menus and impeccable service.
The passion and love Chef Burke pours into each of his creations is contagious! Best of all, should you meet your perfect match, you can return again and again to your special place where it all began!
“Happy Hour is now an important element in my restaurants,” explained Burke. “You need smart small plates and creative drinks. In the last two decades a couple of things happened. People don’t go out to lunch as much and they no longer stay out as late. We don’t get 9:30 reservations anymore. In New York City we do, but not in the suburbs. So why wait until 6 to start our service? I have staff in place, I may as well find a way to be busy from 4-6. Happy Hour works for friends meeting after work. Happy Hour also is a good way to introduce new customers to my restaurants. It works for us.”
Offerings, serving hours and prices vary, please check your preferred site’s website found www.chefdavidburke.com
