A new Happy Hour promotion at La Plancha del Mar is a success, says Jonathan Fritz, co-owner, chef and bartender.
Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., La Plancha offers Sangrias and Heinekens for $2 and an appetizer plate of five selections for $5.
“Now that the winter season is over, we know we have to draw support from locals,” Fritz said, and bargain prices for drinks and food will do it.
Fritz explains he and his partners, Jason Howard (the tall, handsome guy in the picture) and Mike Prout, are working nearly 12-hour days, at least five days a week, four months after opening for business.
But they’re loving it. In this week’s St. John Podcast, he talks about the challenges of starting a business on island.
