A little bar called the Funky Buddha has opened in the space beneath Kumari, where Liam's Pint-Size Pub used to be.
According to Midnight Sunner ryan97ou, Funky Buddha serves $1 Bohs, $2 domestics and $3 imports during happy hour, and possibly all night on some nights.
I'm trying to get a hold of the bar to confirm.
UPDATE: I spoke with Bonnie Roberts, who runs the bar. According to her, appetizers are half price and drinks are two-for-one during happy hour, which is 5 p.m.-8 p.m. Mondays-Fridays. The food is from Kumari (Funky Buddha is way to small to have its own kitchen).
"It's very intimate," Roberts said. "Everybody knows each other." ...
Funky Buddha, which opened in March, now has outdoor seating on the Charles Street sidewalk, Roberts said. Before taking over Funky Buddha, Roberts has worked at Eden's Lounge, Melba's Place and Canton Arts and Entertainment, she said.
I spent many a sloppy, smokey night at Liam's Pint Size Pub before the smoking ban went into effect. It was a case study in second-hand smoke.
A thick fog of cigarette smoke hung in the air at all times. I get congested just thinking about it. Ah, the good ole days.
