Sunday nights belong to the service industry crew and their friends — the people who spend their week making everyone else's night happen. Shift Drink is Metropolitan's laid-back hospitality hangout with games, cheap drink specials ($7 Bud Light & well shots, $5 selected premium drafts, $4 Fireball, $1 off top shelf), and zero pretension. No cover, no judgment, just a room full of people who get it.
