Growing up in Eugene, i always heard about this alleged "Happy Hour" where the drinks are cheap and the food even cheaper, but never experienced it til i moved up to Portland last year. It is now one of my favorite activities. Caesar salads for $2, California rolls for $3, burgers for $3, drinks for $5, amazing...There's nothing like grabbing a drink and some grub with friends after work, talking about work, friends and lovers. Great company+ savory foods+ strong drinks+ cheap prices= Bliss.
I recently found the ultimate Happy Hour site for Portlanders called: Urban Drinks
The site was started by a bunch of friends who wanted to provide the most up-to-date info on happy hour in the Portland area. It's brilliant!
Not only does Urban Drinks list all the happy hours in town, it also breaks it up by neighborhood (Northwest, Southwest, etc...), and includes the total # of happy hours in that area...my favorite feature so far: what happy hours are happening at that moment.
So if i felt like getting a drink right now, @ 11:00 am on a Tuesday(it's 5 o'clock somewhere) it would show me exactly where and what pubs/clubs/bars/restaurants have happy hour at the moment (If you're curious, there are 10).
Additional features include: a Google map with happy hour locations, venue descriptions, reviews, and contact info.
Their main focus is Portland, but the site also covers happy hours in Columbus, OH/ Seattle, WA/ and Dallas, TX.
Ch-ch-check it out. You won't be disappointed.
Guess who's hitting up the Happy Hour tonight?! :)
