Hot chip burger bar

1190 16TH ST SW | HOTCHIPBURGERBAR.COM

HAPPY HOUR. Hot Chip is known for their fun, boozy shakes, such as “The Dude Abides,” a sweet, frosty take on a White Russian. Though you might have to wait until there’s snow on the ground again to try it, we love the Mint-er Wonderland, a shake made with peppermint schnapps.

STRAW OR SPOON? Beyond the classics (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry) you can sip with a straw, you might want a spoon to gobble up bits of delicious goodies in flavors such as the Cookie Dough or Oreo shake.

PRESENTATION IS A PLUS. Plus, they’re served in a large metal cup, which adds a nostalgic, American drive-in diner feel. Try dipping in a hot french fry to really set the mood.

HOLD THE COWS. Many shakes on the menu can be made vegan (and pair nicely with Hot Chip’s various vegetarian and vegan burger options, too). To make it an even happier meal for the grown-ups, try a boozy vegan shake option.
