How the night flows

BKS's tasting room opens at 4 PM on weekdays (1 PM Friday and Saturday) and is closed Tuesday; Earl's takes reservations Monday to Saturday through OpenTable, so book the table first. The kitchen at Earl's closes an hour before the room. Neither posts prices as text, so the cost is a planning estimate.
