Happy hour is usually during the afternoon and earning evening when bars and restaurants lower their drink prices in the hopes of luring in those who want an early start to their festivities. While not all people can enjoy these specials, those who can are always on the hunt for the next big thing. Some places do more than just give you half priced appetizers with your drink. If you know where to look, you can be amazed at all the other perks you get along the way. Have you ever gotten a drink with filet mignon and fries for under ten bucks? It happens at Ruth's Chris Steak House, which many visitors have described as one of the few times they can actually get good steak and not break the bank. In New York City, a city known for out of the world prices and excessive tourism, there's a place that actually offers bar food that is under three dollars. All you have to do I come during happy hour. This place is known as McCormick and Schmick's and features a wide range of alcohols such as domestic drafts, well drinks, and wine and cocktails all under seven dollars. Those prices are rarely seen in the Big Apple. If you are a fan of steakhouses, then you definitely should know of Fleming's. What you may not be aware of is their rock bottom prices from 5 to 7. They offer five top shelf mixed drinks and a plethora of appetizers for just six dollars. These include gourmet foods like crisp pork belly, beef carpaccio, and barbecue shrimp. If you are in the mood for some American food, Los Angele's Comme Ca features a $15 dollar special where you get a drink and eat a fancy dish that includes everything from steak tartare, shrimp cocktail, and a boucherie plate of two meats and two cheeses. With that kind of prices, you may actually be able to take your date out for dinner and a movie without breaking three digits. For seafood lovers, the idea of oysters being sold at prices per shell may send shudders down the spine. These delectable treats are usually pricey and highly seasonal, but at chef John Besh's bistro, Luke in New Orleans, they are just 50 cents a pop during happy hour. Guests can also enjoy delicious drinks such as an absinthe frappe or a New Orleans classic sazerac. If you're ready for happy hour, Portland residents can visit McMenamins.
