Vixens' L.A. HAPPY HOURS: Fraiche

The other day, my friend Amber and I went to Ugo Wine Bar for happy hour, and afterward we thought we'd go to Fraiche for a drink. It was about 30 minutes before their happy hour ended (7pm) so we thought we could sneak in one cocktail. Well, our drinks was so good that we went for a second round just before 7pm. Yowza! Those were some good drinks. In fact, we went back two days later to try the rest of the cocktail menu. And check this out... ALL of their specialty cocktails are just $6!!! WOW!

Now this menu is different from the last time I was at Fraiche and that's because Kiowa Bryan is now in charge of their bar program. Kiowa is formerly of SoHo House where she trained under Varnish's Chris Ojeda. No wonder this girl has mad skills!

So you MUST MUST MUST check out Fraiche's happy hour soon. Normally I like happy hours that offer food specials, but because Fraiche's drinks are so good I don't care. Plus, the drink prices are so amazing, it all kind of evens out. I had an AMAZING Truffle Burger with egg and it was deeeeeelicious.

Truffle Burger ($14)

w/ onion fondue, boschetto, truffle aioli

And every Wednesday starting at 9pm, Fraiche has "Pre-Prohibition Night" offering with select half-price classic cocktails and 1920s-priced bar bites.

$1 bites include: oysters, shrimp, anrancini, soup shooter, tuna tartare, cheese Panini and buratta crostini and $5 cocktails include Aviation, Daquiri, Clover Club, Sidecar, Old Fashioned, French 75 (gin or cognac), El Presidente, Sazerac, Manhattan, Bijou. And 50 cents for the Fish House Punch.

And since I'm currently reviewing Culver City bars, I'll be back very soon. Very very soon.
