87 Happy Hours and Counting!
Today 9/8/09 I have 87 Happy Hours listed!
Kickass Cupcakes, Highland Ave, Somerville: Cocktail Cupcake Happy Hour! Usually on the last Monday of every month, 5-7pm.
Free tastings of mini cupcakes with cocktail inspired flavors.
Last month's featured cocktail cupcakes Singapore Sling, Chocolate Amaretto Kiss and Margarita.
I live down the street from Kickass Cupcakes and I can attest to their godliness. Made with all natural ingredients, these meticulously crafted works of art are heaven in a folded paper cup. Did anyone go to the June 29 Happy Hour? How was it??
75 Chestnut, 75 Chestnut St., Boston: Free Cookie Night! Tuesday night at 5 pm, the restaurant tests out a new cookie recipe. And you can even bring in your favorite cookie recipe to be shared, and they will prepare it and put it to the test. The best cookie recipe will win dinner for two at 75 Chestnut!
I love the burgers at 75 Chestnut.... so hopefully the cookies are good too!
Gaslight, 560 Harrison Ave, Boston: Monday through Friday from 5-6:30 p.m. $5.95 cocktails and $2 Pabst beers, plus feast on free chef's whim bar bites. The special is only available at the bar.
The gaslight has AMAZING food and its very reasonable. Plus the ambiance is fantastic with floor to ceiling subway tile. Entrees are in the $20 range. My boyfriend and I dined there for Valentines day this year and got a bottle of wine, and appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert for under $130! I can't say wnough about the food, service and value. This place ranks in my top ten!
Sel De La Terre,
774 Boylston St. Boston: $1 Oysters - $1 Charcuterie Plates - $5 Cocktail Special Every Monday Night from 5-7pm!
Can someone fill me in on what's so great about oysters? All these restauarants and their oyster specials! Bi-valve lovers please speak up!
Vox Populi, 755 Boylston St., Boston: Seven days a week, 4-6 p.m. $2 bar bites menu
Menu includes:
oyster shooters, Asian wings, an artisanal cheese plate, portobello caprese, and kobe meatballs. They are also offering "Best for Less" wines, two signature wines at discounted prices.
I love that Vox is running this special on Saturdays and Sundays as well!
Pho Republique, 1415 Washington St., Boston: Monday through Thursday from 5:30–7:00 p.m. $2 Dim Sum. Only available at the bar.
Dim Sum includes: steamed shrimp shu mai dumplings, chicken and ginger potstickers, candied garlic spare ribs, veggie rangoon, edamame gyoza, crispy or steamed tofu, or seaweed salad.
I thought Pho Republiqe has done away with the $2 dim sum, but apparently I was wrong because this info was in Boston Magaine last week! Go to this South End staple, get a Mai Tai, and put back sum dim sum!!
Aquitaine, 569 Tremont St., Boston: Sunday-Thursday, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Aquitaine offers complimentary hors d'oeuvres and $5 vintage cocktails.
Boston Magazine says cocktails called the Americano (sweet vermouth, campari, and soda water), and the Blackberry Bramble (gin, black currant liqueur, and fresh lime juice) are excellent. Aquitane also offers a carafe of Beaujolais and two appetizers for just $26
my review of Twitter:
Aquitane HH= D. Similar to the bar itself, the bar bites were minuscule. the bartender was too intrusive and the drinks were few and bitter
Vinalia, 34 Summer Street, Boston, MA: Cheese & Wine Wednesdays starting at 6:00 pm
"Cheese & Wine Wednesdays" are at Vinalia every Wednesday. Enjoy a complimentary sampling of the best selection of wines from Vinalia's extensive wine list. Accompanied by delicious Fruit & Cheese platter.
Coda, 329 Columbus Ave: $5 cocktail and appetizer menu special for the month of June!
This is the place that went in next to Clery's last year and it's AWESOME. I had a burger there that was DELICIOUS. The atmosphere is laid back, not too dressy. Would be a great place for a first date!
Coda Bar and Kitchen is offering "Birthday Bites & Cocktails" on their menu this June. Throughout the month, choose a cocktail and an appetizer and pay just $5 from this special menu:
Cocktails
The Grapefruit Summer Press
The Raspberry Lime Rickey
Appetizers
Tomato, basil and brie crostini/served on toasted French bread with dressed greens
Fried calamari/crispy calamari tossed with grape tomatoes and banana peppers, served over mesclun greens with citrus dressing

Sounds like a frugal feast to me! I think I can get to Arlington on a Wednesday before the end of June....
The Savant Project, 1625 Tremont St., Brookline: Afternoon Delight: 7 Days a week 2:30-6PM, half priced tapas with drink purchase.
I love that The Savant project offers this special 7-days a week! I'm going to try and go some lazy Sunday afternoon soon! Has anyone had the Tapas there? How are they?
Brasserie Jo, 120 Huntington Ave, Boston: FREE! at the bar from 5-11 pm; small Alsatian tarte (imagine a super-mini pizza with olives, tomato, and cheese), warm mini-baguette with a carrots marinated with a horseradish sauce. Also there is a $ 2.95 French Style Hot Dog.
Their website says: "Our French style hot dog maker warms up the French Baguette from the inside! Drizzle on some Dijon mustard and you have a tasty treat for a great price." I am sooo there
J.A. Stats, 99 Broad Street, Boston:
Monday-Friday, 4-8 PM for Half Price Appetizers!
YES! Another Happy Hour to helping us out and extending to (wait for it...) 8 pm! It's especially nice that it's in the Financial District where many people are still at work at 7 pm. This means you can leave work at 7 pm and still get to a bar to enjoy half priced apps!! I have no idea if the food's any good though...comments anyone???
Mini Bar, 51 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA: $2 Mini Kobe Beef Sliders Monday to Thursday 5 to 7 pm
This is the new bar in the Copley Square Hotel. I went here on a Friday night recently, which means I could not indulge in the sliders. However I have to recommend their Elderflower martini, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had!
The
Yelpers love the sliders, stating the mini burgers are, "amazing." So I will definitely be going back for another martini and some sliders!
Kingston Station, 25 Kingston St. Boston: Half Price Appetizers Monday to Wednesday 5 pm to 7 pm
My good friend Kate wrote me this recently; "You should definitely go to Kingston Station and put it on your blog. It’s right next to JJ Foley’s/across from Good Life. I was there last night for the second time and it’s really good—plus they have half price apps after work Monday-Wednesday. I can personally vouch for the yumminess of the baked brie and the truffle fries. And my new favorite drink is a combo of the Moscow Mule and the Partly Cloudy. We should go!"
Thanks Kate!
