There are only so many hours in our day. Plow through the bum ones and get to the fun ones! These happy hour specials in Downtown Los Angeles are sure to leave you with a smile.
THE EDISONMonday-Friday from 5-7pm every cocktail is 40% off and just walking through the front door provides all customers with a “Buffalo Nickel” and a questionnaire on our current economy. The nickel plus 35 cents gets you the sandwich and soup and the card gets you a 35 cent drink—whether you put in your extra two-cents or not.
- Thursdays 5-7pm toast the 1920’s with a 35-cent cocktail.
- Friday is their “shout-out to the current economic crisis”—your choice of two 35 cent cocktails—The Bourbon Bailout, a lively mix of bourbon and pomegranate, as well as the 401 K, a modern take on a classic gin daisy. Fill your tummy in tough times with a classic grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup station (also, a bargain at 35 cents).
COLE’SAt Cole's, Happy Hour is best known as "Saloon Specials,” and the Saloon doesn’t sleep. Seven days a week, 3-7pm, guests can saunter up to the bar for $1 off all drinks. Favored cocktails include house specialties like the “Cosmopolitan, 1926” a refreshing combination of gin, lemon juice and raspberry syrup. Or an unlikely mix of something divine, Champagne and Absinthe stirred up for “Death in the Afternoon.” And what drink doesn’t love a French Dip on the side? The Classic beef, turkey, pork, or lamb French Dip sliders are just $2. 
SEVEN GRANDFor those who choose to booze over food, Seven Grand offers a warm and fuzzy drinks-only “Pub Hour” throughout the week. All night Sunday and Monday, and 5-7pm Tuesday-Friday guests can dig into their never-ending whiskey list or a libation of their choosing for $2 off all liquor and $1 off all wine. A grand idea, indeed. * We borrowed the Cole's pic from EaterLA
