http://urbandrinks.com/reviews/rss Recent happy hour reviews on UrbanDrinks.com en-us Please do not visit Candy. I was a first hand witness to the management discriminating based on race. I was with a very diverse ethnic group of people who were all dressed to the nines. The women entered the establishment first, but when they got to the guys they told them there was a $30 cover. The guys, caught off guard, stepped aside to contact those who had already entered. We then watched a small group of Caucasian men enter without paying. I asked this group if they were VIP or knew anyone and of course they did not. I was pleading with the management to let the guys in, but the lowest they were willing to go was $20. Our group was never anything more than polite and it was huge disappointment, being that we've visited Candy before. There was virtually no line at about a quarter to 10 and the inside was not even half full. We certainly will not be visiting Candy ever again -- by raechell Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:43:43 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/4599/candy http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/4599/candy This brew pub in a little out of the way but definitely worth it. Thursdays there are $2 pints from 7-9 along with the regular happy hours. It does have a little bit of a family feel but I will take that over hipsters any day. Food is always good and happy hour deals are great. -- by Bouchett Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:39:45 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/29/mactarnahans_tap_room http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/29/mactarnahans_tap_room This is one of my favorite neighborhood hang outs, and I recommend the happy hour most heartily. The new owners (as of summer 2009) expanded the wine list and some of the reds are wonderful. The slider hamburgers are delicious and a great happy hour deal! -- by LAwriter Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:13:04 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/2287/capitol_coffeehouse_and_bistro http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/2287/capitol_coffeehouse_and_bistro Always has a great selection for Happy Hour foods! Love coming here for the Shepard's Pie and Cheese Fondue!!! -- by jstalder Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:53:32 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/4508/gustavs_pub_and_grill http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/4508/gustavs_pub_and_grill Amnesia is my go-to place for a casual night, friends in town, sunny day brews. Their beers happen to be among my favorites, so I show up often. Happy hour is a deal especially considering the quality. Brats & burgers provide the perfect simple compliment. Truly a Portland fixture. -- by blackbird Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:00:40 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/264/amnesia_brewing http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/264/amnesia_brewing Dropped into Masu for their happy hour, awaiting goodness. I had been often when they first opened and loved the warm, clean atmosphere, and uncomplicated food (cucumber water is a bonus!). I was a bit disappointed in my last visit. Yeah, the deals are sound, but the hot food was mediocre at best, and the cocktails, just okay. I would recommend the sushi and suggest sitting at either bar. Worthy of another try, but not at the top of my list. -- by blackbird Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:22:00 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/102/masu http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/102/masu I love this bar. The only downside is they don't have a full service kitchen. Location is nice and the beer is good. -- by nanimeow Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:27:38 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/144/mcmenamins_ringlers_annex http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/144/mcmenamins_ringlers_annex Plainly stated, I have yet to get a less-than-perfect cocktail from these pros. I trust them in all things saucy. That said, I limit my visitations, lest I'm forced to skimp on other areas of my budget, such as shelter or food. I will come around more often for their happy hour though, for at least I feel like I'm Sally the Saver. Ok, $1-$3 may not be enough to pat myself on the back, but did I mention the quality of their drinks?! They are heavenly. -- by blackbird Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:12:00 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1055/teardrop_lounge http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1055/teardrop_lounge 23 Hoyt has done much to lure in customers. Their happy hour may just be the ticket. Organized in $1 (shoe string fries, marcona almonds, etc.) to $5 (house sausage trio & kraut, burger. etc.) increments, a twosome can have a really enjoyable meal under $30. That alone is impressive. The quality of the food is good and the atmosphere is pleasing enough. Considering the plethora options on 23rd, 23 Hoyt is among the best. -- by blackbird Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:53:21 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1086/23_hoyt http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1086/23_hoyt This is my favorite happy hour in Portland. $2 Martinis (they will make a cosmo, if you ask) and $2 Hurricans made with fresh juice, not gross mix. I cannot believe it's not packed. Also, food is killer (blackened catfish, mac & cheese, fried pickles). They offer happy hour prices all night long on Wednesdays if you ride your bike (I think I will wait until summer for that one). -- by Lucyduck Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:18:43 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/4915/tapalaya http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/4915/tapalaya Coming from Northern Virginia/DC, this happy hour was top notch and an excellent value. 6 top shelf cocktails and 5 appetizers/small plates for two for $49? What a no brainer!Sat at the bar...service (Thanks Erica!) and conversation were great! The food was well-crafted. Will definitely be back! -- by novabrg Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:17:58 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1086/23_hoyt http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1086/23_hoyt Bar Avignon features a respectable wine and cocktail menu in a small yet well designed space. Apparently the person that designed Bar Avignon was the same person that designed Beaker and Flask. The owners of the bar are always on site to ensure excellent service. -- by mjandri Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:57:42 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/3660/bar_avignon http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/3660/bar_avignon Victory bar offers a nice mix of high quality classic cocktails, good service, and a unique environment. The beer menu currently features a selection of fresh hopped IPA, and other notable beers from northwest craft brewers. -- by mjandri Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:53:21 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1417/victory_bar http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1417/victory_bar The happy hour at 23 Hoyt is a really good deal. I had a $2 draft beer, $1 plate of great fries, and $5 sausage trio plate. All top-notch. -- by bryan Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:22:10 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1086/23_hoyt http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/1086/23_hoyt This place has a killer burger and it's very cheap during happy hour. Delicious, totally unhealthy French food -- by lamonster Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:20:57 +0000 http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/2402/carafe_bistro http://urbandrinks.com/happyhour/places/show/2402/carafe_bistro
