Yelp

Has your good times budget squelched down to whatever you find between the couch cushions (besides old Cheetos)? Has that '9 to 5' morphed into a '9 to whenever your head hits the desk'? Never fear, happy hour is here! Runnin' Weekly, daily to all-night, with a few freebies in-between, Yelp's got the scoop on LA's best hours of power!

For some late, hard workin' Angelenos, happy hour is just a fading memory. If stashing a flask in your desk is out of the question, Shauna D hints you can still hit Copa d'Oro, since "happy hour runs 'til 8pm and on Mondays, it's all night long!" Or ring up some cheap nosh at Chaya Venice; Ronnie M claims it's "a godsend... their happy hour and bar menu extends until closing, which is major for a night owl like me." Hooo wouldn't love that? And David F ain't complainin' about vino at The Viceroy: "Weeknight happy hour starts at 2pm and on Monday and Tuesday, they offer $25 bottles of wine they normally charge a hundo for. Suhweet!"

Of course, weekends can be extra happy, too. Bodega Bar gets jolly from 5-7pm every day, prompting Amy S to dub it her "go-to place for a good night. 'Come here often?' 'Why yes, yes I do!'" Scottie V shares that the late-night, half-off happy hour menu at Darren's "is more like a meal than appetizers," while Palomino in Westwood leaves Alice C ecstatic with not one, but two daily happy hours. From 4-7pm and after 10pm, she suggests you "go with a couple of friends and order everything on the appetizer menu... all the drinks from the happy hour menu, too." Now that's some serious double-fisting!

Continue to make the most of your moolah with two-for-one drinks at Fiesta Cantina from 4-8pm and 10:30pm-12:30am. Ellen U asks, "What more could you ask for? Fun people, good food, cool bouncers, cute bartenders and waiters? Yeah, Fiesta has that too." Fill that fist with frankfurters and $3.50 house beer at Bar Food, where Robert H discloses: "On the happy hour menu the hotdogs are priced at ZERO." Hot diggity dog! And finally, everything is fishy at Enterprise Fish Co, where Jolene M proclaims, "It's all about the $1 oysters during happy hour – I ordered a dozen and downed them in record time." How's that for an aphrodisiac?
