Thanks to all for sending in some great happy hour tips! Here are a few more so you can get your drink on this frosty Friday evening. Don't forget to send your happy hour suggestions to carrie@laist.com


  • From reader David: Dragon on the Hermosa Beach Pier, "Lucky Hour" from 4-9PM every day: They have a different special each day. "Yesterday I had kobe satay for $5 and drinks were 2 for 1."
  • La Cita, Downtown, drink specials 9-11p: Did somebody say FREE BEER? Okay, it's not really "happy hour" per se, but you could turn your happy hour into a happy night dance party! Obviously. Tonight is Punky Reggae Party, and you get a free beer with any drink purchased from 9-11pm.
  • Nic's, Beverly Hills, Happy Hour 5-7pm: The lounge offers "appetizers and drink specials from 5pm to 7pm. Throw a private party for eight or more during happy hour, and the restaurant will provide five appetizers for only $10 per person. Drinks not included." Come for the awesome happy hour deals, stay for the funky jazz performances and beautiful crowd.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
