With word that Restaurant Week is indeed being extended, we hear the groans of worn out restaurant employees almost as loudly as the cheers of hungry eaters.

Pub & Kitchen’s Ed Hackett is looking to do something for those in the trenches, the front and back of the house workers that make Restaurant Week happen.

Ed will help out “medicating” the staffs of Center City restaurants with a late night happy hour for industry types.

From 11pm to 1am, Sunday through Thursday, during the two weeks of Restaurant Week P&K will be offering a Brooklyn Lager bottle with a shot of Bulliet Bourbon for just $4. There will also be draft beer specials for $3 and $1 oysters plus the full menu to 1am.
