SIP/SAVOR: Belly Up to the Bar!

HAPPY HOURS are suddenly the “talk of the town,” but on any given night in Los Angeles, there are literally hundreds to choose from.  While there are literally hundreds to choose from on any given day, these FOUR are OUR PERSONAL PICKS and where you’ll usually find us schoomizing with WHOMEVER is nearby!

BOA
Burger Sliders topped with crispy onions are THE absolute most BABULOUS in town at this meat lover’s paradise.   HAPPY HOUR runs from 5-7 and trust us, it’s one NOT TO MISS.  Not only is the $5.00 BOA TINI (with Gin or Vodka and even a few OLIVES for that price!), the people watching both inside AND out (on the magnificent patio) is another TREAT in itself!

CECCONI’S
Get there no later than six-thirty to snag a seat at the luxurious bar.  The Tapas menu is awesome, but the complimentary flatbread pizza is a nice little “touch,” to say the least.  Make sure to ask (time and time again!) for the super skinny breadsticks while sipping away on your cocktail of choice.  Hell, it’s always so nice, we usually decide to hang out for hours, thrilled we found a place to call “home” for the night. However, IF we decide to grab a real dinner, we always opt for the grilled calamari or the divine chicken salad (a healthy but sumptuous option).

CUBE APERITIVO
One of our most favorite little neighborhood haunts, this cool little place always “hits the spot.”  It’s great for dinner with friends, especially in the private dining room, but sometimes we like to get there a tad earlier for sipping half-price glasses of Rosati and savoring $5 Pizzettas on house-made crust OR even a wide selection of fine fromaggio. This, only at the stainless steel wine and cheese bar, but hell, we often wind up staying in the exact same seats for the rest of the night. Shhh, it’s a secret spot for celebrity sightings!

Each and every MONDAY from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., $15 gets you a glass of wine or a choice of two mixed drinks, BUT it’s the UNLIMITED appertizers that made us SMILE with delight! Now HERE”S a Private Party-esque Happy Hour that we WILL be frequenting week after week.  Join us…but tell only your coolest, closest colleagues!
