Persephone and, 283 Summer St., Boston: Persephone has a $5 Bar Menu every night! It includes offerings such as a baked to order bacon & sea salt pretzel, housemade pickles, french fries gremolata bruschetta!
I went here for the most recent restaurant week and thought the food was excellent. The atmosphere takes a little getting used to since it's a clothing boutique as well as a restaurant "concept."
Vlora, 545 Boylston St, Boston:
$5 appetizers everyday from 4pm-6pm
EVERYDAY!!! I love it when restaurants continue the specials throughout the weekend! How is Vlora? I have not had the pleasure of going there yet!
Fire and Ice, 205 Berkeley St, Boston (there's a location in Cambridge as well): $1.25 appetizers at the bar between 4-6pm Monday-Friday.
I walked by Fire and Ice around 5:30 pm on Wednesday night this week (7/1/09) and the place was packed! They were advertising STUMP Trivia starting at 8 pm, cheap PBR drafts and $1.25 appetizers! What's not to love!!?? How are the appetizers? The food here is decent, if you like stirfrys, but I don't think I've ever had an appetizer at Fire and Ice.
