Why wait for the weekend to treat yourself? You can enjoy specials, local flavors, and rustic charm at The Lodge in Annapolis all week long!
I love to treat myself to something fun or delicious on Wednesdays. I call it my hump day boost. It gives me something to look forward to and raises my spirits as I power through the rest of the work week. As a carb lover, pasta is one of my favorite midweek treats. Fortunately, The Lodge’s Wednesday special is half-price signature pasta. Plus, they have Gathering Hour deals including discounted pizza, cocktails, wine, and beer from 3 pm to 6 pm Monday through Thursday.
Located near the Annapolis Mall with deals extending past the typical happy hour timeframe, The Lodge is the perfect place to meet up with coworkers or friends for a weekday boost. A few of us from Annapolis Moms Media recently gathered around The Lodge’s fireplace for a girls night out and indulged in delicious bites, wine, and mocktails.
