As the end of the semester approaches, I have found myself buried under work and lacking the time to write interesting blog posts. Today's is shorter, but hopefully still informative!
My roommates and I are big fans of good deals. Though I enjoy splurging on fancy food and drinks, I also don't have the cash to do so on a regular basis. Luckily, Ann Arbor bars and restaurants have some pretty great happy hours. My roommates and I have planned out a Monday night to hit as many as we can (Monday because some deals are exclusive to that evening). I suggest you get a group together to try it out!
Here's the list, organized by start time:
4:00-6:00 PM: Vinology - Happy hour, deals on wine
4:00-7:00 PM: The Melting Pot - half-priced cheese fondues, $2 off glasses of wine
7:00-11:00 PM: Cafe Felix - Half-priced martinis (I recommend the Honey Pot or Orangini-tini. Yes, even I feel a little girly ordering an Orangini-tini, but it's delicious and has a splash of Orangina, so you can't go wrong.) *Monday night only
8:00-11:00 PM - Cafe Habana - $8 pitchers of sangria (regularly $11) (Though the best sangria in town is still at Dominick's, in my opinion)
9:00-11:00 PM - The Melting Pot - half-priced dessert fondues and $2 off glasses of wine
If you decide to forgo Cafe Felix on Monday nights, they have a deal on Wednesdays for half off bottles of wine.
Or, Thursday through Saturday, the Black Pearl has a late night menu that is $3-$4 off select martinis, including my favorite, the Nutty Alexander: Amaretto, Frangelico, Bailey's, and Kahlua with cream and nutmeg - delicious and does not taste like alcohol. Probably James Bond would make fun of me for not drinking straight vodka, but hey, I'm happy drinking super sweet martinis.
Friday and Saturdays, if you wanted to wander away from Main Street towards State Street, Red Hawk Bar and Grill also has an amazing happy hour from 10:00 PM until 1:00 AM - half off all drinks. Their well liquor is also what you have to request specially at most college bars, so it's a great deal.
There are probably other great happy hours that I don't know about - feel free to let me know! I have roughly seven more Mondays to try out the 6:00-11:00 PM Monday Happy Hour Extravaganza, so I've got my fingers crossed that I can drag some people out to try it.
Red Hawk's Happy Hour has significantly improved their business and proved that the best deals are great for everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly be coming back to this page once I'm old enough to go take advantage of those deals. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOnly 7 more mondays?? you can't be leaving already, though I'm sure you're probably thinking more along the lines of "gosh I've been here quite awhile already...time to move on".
