The Hottest Happy Hour in Los Angeles

 

The only thing better than a cold beer or quality cocktail is more of them, for cheaper. LA’s lavish nightlife scene really has it all, from upscale spots for bar bites to trendy restaurants known for their drinks. Whatever you’re in the mood for, get it all and maybe a little more with the hottest happy hours in Los Angeles.

 

High above the illustrious Tommy Hollywood Hotel, guests can enjoy $10 for 2 tacos, $9 cocktails, and $6 wine by the glass, surrounded by the views from one of the best rooftop bars in the city. The happy hour is Wednesday-Friday 6-8pm, just in time to catch a breathtaking LA sunset.

 

The 1970’s themed local favorite has one of the best happy hours around, with beers clocking in at an enticing $3, shots at $6-8, and the signature Davey’s Old Fashioned at $6. Swing by Hollywood 5-8pm weeknights, or 2-6 on weekends and taste the savings (and some seriously addictive barbecue) for yourself.

 

For some luxurious rooftop dining, the “social hour” at this swanky Hollywood hotspot is a must. Cocktails and wine by the glass drop down to $10 each, and star chef Michael Mina’s signature dips and bar bites are as low as $5. If you’re in the neighborhood Wed-Sun, 4-6PM, do not skip out on the toasted walnut muhammara.

 

Los Angeles already loves the brunch at this Silver Lake eatery, so the fabulous happy hour is a welcome addition. Whether you snag a beer-and-shot combo for $10 or a discount on the signature buttermilk biscuit sandwich, you’ll be eating good and sufficiently supplied with tasty drinks, every Wed-Sunday, 3-7PM.

 

The frozen drinks at this Venice watering hole taste even better on discount. Guests can look out for $10 frozen daiquiris and margaritas, $4 beers, and daily deals on craveworthy bar bites like coconut shrimp and 5 flavors of wings. Spread out at this breezy open space everyday from 4-6PM.

 

The Mexican food at this Fairfax hotspot is fantastic, and goes great with a $7 michelada. Monday-Friday, 3-6PM, diners can grab refreshing drinks and craveworthy plates of elote with queso cotija and tender carnitas tacos for cheap. While sadly not on the happy hour menu, guests should definitely check out Madre’s famous collection of mezcals, featuring over 400 unique bottles.

 

One of Culver City’s best Japanese restaurants happens to have one of its best happy hours. Tuesday-Sunday from 5-6:30, FIN offers $8 wine and sake by the glass, and discounts on all your favorites: gyoza, yakitori, and a flavor-packed crispy rice with spicy tuna.

 

Melanie is one of the best wine bars on the Westside, and from 4-5 daily, glasses are half-priced. Sip and savor with some charcuterie and fresh fish tartare, and if you’re there on a monday, indulge in a full bottle of wine, half off.

 

This eclectic Santa Monica sippery is known for their Peruvian ceviche, Thai curried clams, and smashburgers full of flavor, but everyday before 7pm, the excellent menu is paired with cocktails, wine, and spirits, 50% off. Seize the opportunity and dig into some craft cocktails like the French Apple Cart, made with calvados apple brandy, cointreau, lemon, and allspice.
