Pinot American Brasserie is located on SW 12th and Washington in the bottom of the Indigo 12 West building, right around the corner from Jake's Crawfish. A great after-work happy hour spot, especially if you can walk because you're gonna circle the block more than a few times. The atmosphere was what I'd describe as "swanky modern" and their waitstaff was friendly, but not overly so.
Happy hour is weekdays 3-6pm and 9pm to close and features half off a red and white wine and a beer selection, a $2 menu and a $5 menu. The $2 menu features fairly typical items such as hummus plate, caesar salad, fries, and olives with orange zest; however I found the $5 menu to be have some non-typical happy hour additions such as a chicken pot pie, and steak tartare, in addition to the expected burger, calamari, and sandwich selections. I ordered the roast mussels with sausage and basil pesto off the $5 menu and the seafood spread with flatbread off the $2 menu (What can I say, I'm a seafood fan). I found the spread to be a bit bland, but for $2 I'm not going to complain! However the mussels came in a cast iron pan with their broth and juices, they were extremely flavorful and there was a ton of them. I'm looking forward to ordering them again! I definitely think Pinot is a great place for happy hour, it's got a great environment, friendly waitstaff and a good selection on the menu. Just don't drive if you can help it, unless it's late-night when parking is easier!
