Where To Find The Longest Happy Hours In L.A. on Black Friday

If you're anything like us, you might lament the fact that happy hour is just that -- an hour or two of cheap nibbles and tipples that always seem to end just a tad too early. But today that's all changing for one day. Over at the Whisper Restaurant and Lounge at The Grove, they're hosting "The Longest Happy Hour," from noon to 7 p.m.
The festivities include menu specials like oysters with cucumber mignonette for $2 each, short-rib croquettes for $5, crudité with marinated olives, hummus and grilled ciabatta for $7, Whisper fries with truffle ranch, blue cheese aioli and house-made ketchup for $5, house-smoked salmon crostini with avocado toasts for $7, Jidori wings for $7, Kobe beef sliders for $9, and more. In terms of cocktails, they'll be doing Hangar One and JD specials for $7, and wine and beer for $4.
And although that might seem like quite the long haul, Bouchon Bistro in Beverly Hills is doing an offering two-for-one drinks all day today. And they just so happen to be one of our favorite happy hour locations in the city.
These two happy hours should take the edge off after bearing the hordes of holiday shoppers.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
