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!
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
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!

Rocca, 500 Harrison Ave.,Boston: "Sunday Supper" $22 gets you 2 courses and a sweet.Rocca is fantastic. I went here for Restaurant Week last year with all my girlfriends and we had a blast. I enjoyed the flank steak the time we went. I'm not sure what's on the Sunday Supper menu, but I'm sure you will get your $22 worth.
Masa, 439 Tremont St. : One dollar tapas week nights until 7 pmwww.masarestaurant.comMasa's tapas are amazing! you can get a fairly large combo platter with 6 tapas for $5! The Maragritas are great as well, they come in all kinds of great flavors made with fresh pureed fruit. I would get there as early as possible the bar is small and tends to get packed quickly.
28 Degrees, 1 Appleton St, Boston, MA: $1 Island Creek oysters from 5pm to 7pm every day except Mondaywww.28degrees-boston.comOyster lovers please pipe up! I have nothing to say, because frankly, oysters disgust me....but not people who eat them!!
Estragon, 700 Harrison Ave, Boston, MA: $1 traditional pintxos in the bar Monday through Thursday, from 5:30pm.estragontapas.com/index.htmWikipedia says a pintxo is, "a small slice of bread upon which an ingredient or mixture of ingredients is put and held there using a stick, which gives the food its name." Sounds interesting, some one who's tasted these snacks from the Basque country please let us know how they go down!
