Skip the food at Ray's Cafe happy hour, as the paltry 12% average savings make it a waste of time. However, the drinks are a different story, offering a "real" deal with an average of 31% off, especially for the excellent Red Blend (47% off) and Rosé (36% off).

Food Verdict:Meh

Ray's Cafe's happy hour food is a hard "meh" with an average savings of just 12%. Don't expect to save much on the PNW Mussels or Manila Clams, both clocking in at a paltry 8% off, while even the "best" deal, Crispy Calamari, only hits 18%.

Drink Verdict:Real

Now we're talking. Ray's drinks are a "real" deal, averaging 31% off. The Red Blend at a fantastic 47% off and the Rosé at 36% off are serious steals, making this a great spot to wet your whistle.
