Cheap eats: Bristol has lobsters at cost today

With this city’s appetite for seafood, lobsters don’t last very long in Kansas City. That theory gets put to the test tonight with the Bristol Seafood Grill’s fresh lobster special.

The downtown seafood restaurant will sell you a live, one-pound, Maine lobster at cost between 4 and 7 p.m. if you sit at the bar. That’s convenient because it also happens to be happy hour, where cocktails and martinis are $5.95. Fresh lobsters are usually slightly sweeter and more tender than their frozen counterparts, and are not easy to find in our land-locked city. 

If you can’t make it tonight, this deal will continue on Wednesdays for the foreseeable future.
