We know, it's been a long week.
At this point, you might be looking for somewhere to have a drink...or six. So we've compiled a short list of the places you can sample your liquor in excessive yet socially acceptable quantities (translation: booze flights). It's like wine tasting—minus the pretension, with a thankfully elevated alcohol content. A toast: to the weekend.
