Happy hour

Whiskey drinks are discounted the whole of Wednesday - “On Wednesdays we drink whiskey!” is the bar’s own line. What that is worth is not published, so no price can be quoted here.

A dollar off beer and wine, and that is the whole of it - the restaurant names no qualifying beers or wines, publishes no food discount and has no separate happy hour menu. Its FAQ puts it as “All hours spent at Mojo are happy ones, but the Happiest of Hours occur Monday-Friday from 3-6”.

The bar publishes the window — “Happy Hour daily, 3-6pm” — and not much else. The one clue to what moves is the House Club membership, which is sold partly on “Happy Hour on house drafts all day every day”, so the house taps are the line that comes down. Off the standard list, draft beer runs $7 to $8 and the tap wines $8 to $9, with glasses of champagne and sparkling from $8.

V Pizza publishes the window for Sidecar, the cocktail bar inside its San Marco store, but not what comes off the price. Its bars page says only “Happy Hour Every day 3-7PM” against a list of house cocktails, microbrews and spirits, and tells drinkers to ask for the Cocktail of the Week. Sunday runs on a different, all-day window and is filed separately.

Half-price wines by the glass, $1 off draft beer and a selection of cocktails at $8, with a short bar menu running alongside: Lil’ Tempura $6, Truffle Fries $7, Fried Fish Bites $8, Jerk Chicken Skewers $10, a Tuna Poke Bowl $12 and a chef’s-choice dozen of raw oysters at market price. It runs every day the restaurant opens except Monday.

Taverna runs happy hour every day it opens, which is Tuesday through Sunday, from 4 to 6pm. It is one of the nine menus the restaurant publishes separately, sitting alongside the cheese and salumi list and Kiley Efron’s wine-by-the-glass list, and the kitchen also offers it to go.

Draft beer opens at $3 for Dos Equis and $3.50 for Miller Lite, with Stella Artois at $4, Stiegl and Bell’s Two Hearted at $4.50, and Guinness and the boilermaker at $5. Wines by the glass start at $6 - Santa Julia Malbec, La Fiera Pinot Grigio, Line 39 Cabernet, Nicolas Chardonnay - then run up through $7 Vinho Verde and cava and $9 Cotes du Rhone to $13 for St. Hubert’s The Stag Cabernet and $14 for Lemelson Pinot Noir. No food specials are listed, which is consistent with a bar that runs charcuterie and snacks rather than a kitchen.

Two dollars off bar bites, beer, wine by the glass, craft cocktails and house spirits, plus a $10 price on Grey Goose and Buffalo Trace cocktails. It is lounge-only — the restaurant states “Monday-Friday 4:30pm-6:30pm | Only in the M Lounge” — and the lounge itself is open from 4.30pm to 10pm on weekdays. Dress is business casual and guests who do not meet it are seated in the lounge rather than the dining room.
