Mad & Vin, off the lobby

Mad & Vin is Danish for "food & wine," and it's the hotel's restaurant and bar, cooking from Central Coast produce. Three weeknights come with a deal: Monday is Industry Night with all-night specials, Tuesday is Locals' Night with 20% off food (not alcohol) with ID, and Wednesday takes 20% off wine by the bottle. Happy hour is 4 to 6pm daily, and the bar runs until 11pm on Friday and Saturday. More in Solvang happy hours.
