Okay, all of us cubicle slaves have almost made it through another week working for "the man." Since it is Thursday, what better way to celebrate such a feat than by hitting the local taverns/restaurants for some drinks, apps, and gossip about the new guy in Marketing. Bostonist loves its Happy Hour time (and would go each day after work in financially possible), so here a few random places to try for some post-work amusements.
The Elephant and Castle, located in the Financial District, is packed after-work with working stiffs in suits. No specials but lots of beers on tap at this faux Irish pub. Hit up either the Faneuil Hall or Columbus Avenue McCormick and Schmick's branch from 3:30 p.m.to 6:30 p.m. to take advantage of their $1.95 happy hour appetizers. These are "real" appetizers...quesidillas, buffalo wings, or a cheesburger with fries. How can you go wrong? If being "seen" is more important to you than saving some cash, venture over to Houston's or Davio's for some more expensive drinks and more "important" people. Looking for a good margarita? Well, Bostonist doesn't truly enjoy them over at the Cactus Club on Boylston, but the Coronas and half-priced apps are good. If you enjoy a sports-themed scene and don't mind traveling to South Boston for it, the Stadium has a nice set-up for big groups who want to check out anything on a flat screen TV. Half-priced appetizers until 7 p.m. help too.
Bostonist is always looking for a new haunt. Where do you and your co-workers like to head to at 5 p.m.?
[Editor's note: Bostonist was reminded that Massachusetts does not allow "Happy Hours" due to the state liquor laws. Most of the places listed above have special food prices since they can't reduce prices on alcohol. Bostonist still likes to call it "Happy Hour" even though it is not truly as happy as it once was...]
Happy Days are Here Again...at 5pm
