About First Thursday Pop-Up

Little Lucy's Mini Donuts pops up at Half Step for First Thursday with live music, free pup cups, and fresh mini donuts alongside the bar's cocktails.

At Half Step

The menu reads like a classics primer (Daiquiris, Floradora, Remember the Maine, Prescription Julep) but the execution is the point: precise cocktails at $11 with an ice program most bars skip. The patio out back stays loose while the bar runs quietly and efficiently.
