Life is stressful. While we don't advocate habitual heavy drinking, we certainly believe that the busy and frazzled people who make up the fabric of our work-obsessed American society deserve to take a breather every once in a while.

Hey, you've earned it.

1130 The Restaurant is here for you in your time of need, friend, with its weekly Wine Down Wednesdays. Guests can forget the day's (or life’s) worries with half-price bottles from the restaurant's extensive wine list. Not to mention the place serves up some tasty grub like sweet chili calamari, citrus tilapia, and delicious steaks. So have a nibble and let the wine do the work for a change.

Wednesdays, 11 a.m.-10 p.m., 2011
