Unwind after work with help from the folks at The Butcher Shop. The South End staple from chef-owner Barbara Lynch is bringing a whole new meaning to “after work drinks” with their Aperitivo Hour, available every Monday through Friday from 4:00 to 6:00pm. Come for small plates designed by Chef de Cuisine Amanda Lowry and cocktail pairings — the line-up changes seasonally, and it’s inspired by various regions around Europe. Peep the inaugural menu below, then plan when you’re going to claim a bar stool to take part. Questions? Call 617.423.4800 for answers.
