News that Yelp is facing a class-action lawsuit was so last week. March rings in Yelp Drinks Week, through Sunday, which may be the company's way of rallying--or at least watering--the troops with subsidized alcohol at nine metro restaurants.

The discounts at Kim Bartmann's restaurants aren't so deep (is $3 PBR considered a deal?), but the $5 handcrafted cocktails at spots like OM and Bradstreet are as good a reason as any to go out for an Agni or a Moscow Mule. I'm curious to try W.A. Frost's Star Anise Sour made with star anise-and-cinnamon infused brandy and house-made sweet and sour--sounds perfect for fireside sipping. Here's a full list of the restaurants/beverages:
