In his form-fitting pink tights and delicate leather slippers, the matador whirls and pirouettes, confronting with every graceful twist the fundamental horror of violent death. Ballard's Matador acknowledges this same base fear by happily showcasing the skulls of fallen livestock in its décor. Thrifty guests will delight in the two-pronged happy hour, with prong number one occurring in the afternoon (4—6 pm) and prong number two spanning the night (10 pm—1 am). Man's inevitable triumph over beast is also celebrated on the $4 happy-hour menu, filled with many meaty delights: blackened-fish tacos, chicken or steak tacos, spicy fried calamari, and fire tiger prawns.
