Deacon Booze: LAist Happy Hour
Is it still raining? Seriously? Sigh. Since the wet weather is making me loathe to venture very far away from my office, here's a few happy hour spots in Hollywood that were recommended by reader Klodi B. (Okay, and one in Highland Park, but whatevs.) Anyway, she emailed me with her animal-themed picks. I like emails. I like 'em a whole lot, especially when they are all about cheap booze. Or animals. I'm not picky! So make me happy, won't you? Send your secret spots and recommendations my way at carrie@laist.com.
- Cat and Fiddle, Hollywood: M-FR 4-7 pm, all draft beers 3.50 and also cheap booze. Morrissey hangs out here when he's in town.
- Pig N' Whistle: M-F 4-7pm $3 well drinks, and $2 off tap beer. Bar food specials. Yes, this is a different Hollywood English-pub-themed, animal-named bar. Different.
- Mr. T's Bowl, Highland Park: Tues, Thurs, and Fri 4-9pm. Cocktails $3.99, Martinis $4.99.
