I have been wanting to try Alma de Cuba for the longest time. Fortunately, a friend was nice enough to invite me here for her birthday dinner. Alma is pretty unassuming from the outside. It looks a little out of place on Walnut Street, since it's a…More »

I always thought this place was a little expensive, so when there was a 10 for 20 groupon, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to try it. I ordered a large Americano (plain cheese & sauce) with grilled eggplant & ricotta added, as well as a whole…More »

This is always a fun fall-back for happy hour or dinner, but usually isn't my first choice. The food is pretty good but I think it's overpriced for what you get. The bbq chicken quesadilla, french onion soup dumplings, and edamame are all solid…More »

Went here for Yelp Cocktails week, because I like me some cheap sangria. I met four friends for happy hour and we decided to sit outside because it was less cramped, and they only do happy hour there and at the bar. It was chilly, but they had heat…More »

Whenever I go to Drinker's it ALWAYS seems to be packed. Not just packed with a good amount of people, packed like you have to fight your way to the bar. This is usually not my thing, but the specials and the timing of their happy hour is too good to…More »
The cheaper, less known version of El Vez. I've been here twice now and have been pretty impressed with the food. The queso fundido is amazing (what's better than a pot of melted cheese and chorizo?) as well as the skirt steak tacos and chicken…More »

I was lured here for Pi Day, when Morton's offered their "famous" key lime pie for $3.14 (cute, I know). I went with a friend after work around 6pm, and when we got there the bar and restaurant were empty. It was a Monday, but it was still kind of…More »

Great for happy hour! $5 cocktails that are delicious and $3 bar snacks. It's never too packed in there but there's always a good crowd. Seems to be a little bit of an older demographic. I highly recommend the juicy couture -- black cherry margarita.…More »

Looks like a hole in the wall, and that's because it IS. "The vous" as they call it is a tiny little dive bar that you would walk right past if you weren't looking for it. However, this little gem has become my happy hour spot of choice.

I happened upon this place when doing a search for "happy hour" in rittenhouse on Yelp. It sounded pretty amazing to me: HH 5:30-7:30, $5 specialty martinis, good bar snacks, and a fluorescent lit fish tank...what more could you ask for in a happy…More »
