87 Happy Hours and Counting!

Today 9/8/09 I have 87 Happy Hours listed!

5/28/09

South End: Union Bar and Grille


Union Bar and Grille, 1357 Washington Street, Boston: Complimentary Bar Bites Monday -Friday 5:30 pm-7 pm. "Baseball Bites" at the bar at Union Monday through Friday from 5:30-7:00pm

Chef Stephen Sherman's interpretation of ballpark classics like house-made Cracker Jacks, pretzels and mini sliders.

This sounds AWESOME!! Someone please tell me how the homemade crackerjacks are!!?/ I plan to go soon.

Financial District: Sanctuary


Sanctuary, 189 State St, Boston:$5 appetizers, Tuesday to Friday 5-8pm

I've only been here to dance and drink, has anyone ever gone and gotten a burger or taco? Are they good??

5/26/09

South Boston: 606 Congress


606 Congress, In the Renaissance Marriott, Boston: Fridays from 5:00 to 8:00pm, on the patio, enjoy either a bucket of four Coronitas, a signature 606 margarita, or a raw bar sampler for just $6.06 (cute).

There's Free parking all summer too (which is good because it's not too cloae to a T stop)! I'm going to try to get there some beautiful Friday summer night soon....if you get there first let me know how it is!

Brighton: Brighton Beer Garden


Brighton Beer Garden, 386 Market Street, Brighton, MA: "Classic" burgers and Miller High Lifes are $2.50 (each) on Tuesdays.

If any of you are like me and haven't been to Brighton since you graduated college the Brighton Beer Garden is where SoHo used to be. I've been to their sister bar, the Atlantic Beer Garden, next to the Seaport World Trade Center and thought the beer selection (obviously) was good and the nachos we decent (C+, they were mostly just cheese and salsa).

How's the Brighton garden measure up?

Back Bay: Bonfire


Bonfire, 50 Park Plaza, Boston: $1 Tacos Thursday nights from 5 pm to 7 pm starting June 4th!

I went to $1 Taco Thursday on 7/16/09 and had an amazing time! The tacos are fantastic, especially the duck taco--amazing flavor. The service was great and the bar area was spacious and comfortable. The Frugal Feaster gives Bonfire $1 Taco Thursday an A!

5/20/09

Beacon Hill: 6 B Lounge

6 B Lounge, 6 Beacon St. Boston: $3 Tapas on Tuesday nights, $6 margaritas on Wednesday nights and $6 mojitos on Thursday nights.

I went her tonight, Tuesday June 30 2009, and the sliders were horrendous! I'm sorry 6B Lounge, but buying mini-burgers at Market Basket (which is what they tasted and looked like) doesn't cut it, not even for $3! The Spring Rolls helped redeem, but the Spanish Meatballs were only so-so. If I had to give advice, I would recommend you go with the intention of drinking copious cheap Sangria (also on special) so you can't taste the tapas!

5/13/09

South End: Sage


Sage, 1395 Washington Street: 3 Stuzzi (small plates) for $10 Monday-Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m

Stuzzi is Italian for small plates and the food you get is similar to tapas. Sage's great Italian Stuzzi includes:

Chick Pea Caponata
Roasted Red Peppers
Pickled Eggplant
Marinated Mushrooms
White Anchovy Crostini

Amongst others!

5/7/09

Back Bay: Match


Match, 94 mass Ave, Boston : Tuesdays from 5-10 pm mini burger sliders are $1

Granted it's only one day out of the whole week, but it's until 10pm!!! $1 sliders YEAH! The slider's at Match are spectacular and my favorite martini is the "Cloud Nine" it's has toasted meringue on top!

About Me

My photo
Somerville, MA
When I first moved to Boston I was disappointed to learn there was no, real, happy hour (due to the notorious Massachusetts Blue Laws). As a person who LOVES a good deal (and nachos with beer) I quickly learned of the numerous restaurants offering food specials in lieu of happy hour. Over the years I became a go-to person for many of my friends and co-workers looking for a good place to go after work or grab a bite and cocktail. Unfortunately the other websites supposedly dedicated to happy hour were more advertising ploys. Their listings were out-of-date and did not even tip the iceberg for what is truly out there. I decided to create this blog and try to make it user friendly by dividing up the happy hours by location, duration of the specials, and nights of the week the specials are available. I also add my two-cents from time to time. I'm a bit of a nacho connoisseur and have strong opinions on where to go and how to eat them! I hope you find my blog useful and entertaining. Enjoy! -Carrie
