Mr. Fish Chips & Chowder

Go for the oysters, stay for... well, just go for the oysters. With a single, stellar food deal and a plethora of mediocre drink discounts, Mr. Fish Chips & Chowder is barely worth the stop.

Alibi Room

Alibi Room's happy hour is a solid choice, with truly good deals on all their food items. The drink savings are just okay, but if you're there for a bite, you won't be disappointed.

Japonessa Sushi Cocina

Conclusion: Japonessa Sushi Cocina offers a decent happy hour, primarily due to several well-priced drinks. While the food deals are merely passable, there are enough options to complement the beverages.

Oliver's

At Oliver's, the happy hour offerings are a definite "meh." With average savings across both food and drinks hovering in the mid-teens, it's not really worth going out of your way for, unless you're desperate for some slightly discounted nuts and a cocktail.

3pm–5pm Every day

Goldfinch Tavern

Goldfinch Tavern’s happy hour is a "meh" affair for food, offering some decent savings but nothing to write home about. While the Tuna Poke and Chocolate & Raspberry provide a respectable discount, the overall food menu doesn't quite hit "real" deal territory. Drink savings couldn't be verified, so stick to the food, but with tempered expectations.

3pm–5pm Mon–Fri | 2:30pm–5pm Sat–Sun

Zig Zag Cafe

Skip Zig Zag Cafe for happy hour. The food savings are a joke, averaging a measly 9%, and the drink deals are barely passable with only one item offering 18% off. You can definitely find better happy hour deals elsewhere.

5pm–6pm Mon–Fri
