Mohawk Bend on Mondays



CRAZY CHEAP ALERT!!! CRAZY CHEAP ALERT!!!

Have you heard??? Every Monday, Mohawk Bend in Echo Park as an awesome deal of All-You-Can-Eat Pizza for just $12 and it's ALL NIGHT!
And how many choices do you get??? Over 10! And some pizza are vegan-friendly. This is one deal you shouldn't miss.

Along with AYCE pizza, selected pints are just $4 and their flights are served all night. Typically, Mohawk "Flight Time" runs from 5-7pm, but is extended all night in the Ramona Room on Mondays. Each flight is $9 and consists of four 4-oz California brews.



They also offer a Monday Night Cocktail at a discounted price. The night we went, it was The Hershiser (rum, lime juice, orgeat, grenadine, vanilla bean syrup, blue curacao float).
 The Hershiser - $9 

Now you can stuff your face with a crap load of pizza, but since you only spend $12... leave room for dessert!




Well, here was my dessert. ;)


So grab your calendar and put a big "Mohawk Bend" on every single Monday. I know I did!!

City Sip

Gosh golly, it sure is hard to find a good happy hour in the Echo Park area. I knew City Sip was in Echo Park and I've heard good things about them so I called my favorite wine-guy, Shaun-Mathieu, and we headed on down.

City Sip's happy hour runs from Tuesday -Friday from 5:30-7pm and offers a nice selection of wine, beer, and small plates starting at $4.




















On our visit, we definitely did our best to try as many different wines as possible (hehehe). We had red, white, and sparkling wine and draft beer. City Sip does a nice job at offering good wines at happy hour, which I think is a must for a wine bar.  And starting at $4?? Well done, City Sip!


Their beer selection was also nice. I got the Allagash Curieux (loved), but they also offered:
-The Bruery Orchard White
-Taps Cream Ale
-Strand 24th Street Pale Ale
-Coronado Islander IPA
-Bootlegger’s Black Phoenix (...which is a Chipotle Coffee Stout. I'm trying that on my next visit!)


 For food, we began with the Trio of Olives, Almonds, and Cornichons. The almonds were warm and I just love those little pickles!
And then we moved on to the cheese plates. You can select any two cheeses for $5. We couldn't decide so we got all five and each one was great. Great quality cheese! (See above menu for choices.)
Then we had to order the Charcuterie platters. That's a no brainer!


The Bean and Cheese Crostini was delish! I loved the white bean topped with Burrata.
Mmmm, mmm.











The last thing we got was Caprese Sliders. Don't forget to dip it in the Balsamic on the plate. So good!














 
And if you can't make it out during the week, here are some cool weekend specials:
Saturdays: 5pm to 7pm, a wine tasting of 3 wines and 2 cheeses for $15! 
Sundays: 9p-11pm - ALL open bottles are half-off by the glass! Wow! That's a great deal!!

We were definitely happy with found City Sip. It's definitely a great spot to meet up with friends and have some good wine. If you are a wine lover, you should really try this place out!

Allston Yacht Club


Okay, so I have some good new and bad news about happy hour at Allston Yacht. The good news first!!! Allston offers every single dish in the joint for just $5. Nice, right? Now for the bad news. There are no real yachts there. (sad face)

Allston Yacht Club's happy hour is Tuesday through Saturday form 5:30 - 7pm and every single food item on the menu is only $5 and selected bottles of wine are only $15. That's a pretty good deal. The night we went they offered four different wines.





Now the food is already cheap so some things are already $5 normally or just a 2-3 bucks more. Yay for Allston!  Here are some of the plates we tried:

Scorched Shishito Peppers $5
They stated that they are "mildly spicy" 
but they are pretty darn hot to me.

 Eggplant Parmagiano $5
2 pieces and very tasty

 Celeriac Salad $5
Eh. Wasn't a fan. 

 Grilled Spiced Quail $5
It was okay. Kind of small.
But I LOVED the warm veggie salad underneath.

Polenta w/ Greens and Gorgonzola $5
I love polenta and this was delish!
Definitely my favorite of the night.


And yes there were no cocktail specials... but did you really think I wasn't going to have one?







         Echo Park Mule                                            Lena's Holiday


But don't forget they do have $15 bottles of wine. And right now on Thursday you can get $5 well drinks. I guess it's new because we just went last Thursday and there wasn't any mention of it. (Not sure how long it will last.) For the last few months, Allston has been saying on Facebook that on Wednesdays their happy hour is all night. And then on their website they also mention on Sundays there is no happy hour but you can get any craft beer for $3 with a food purchase. But defnitely call ahead to confirm deals.

So if you are in the Echo Park area, put on your best yacht outfit and head on over to Allston Yacht Club!

Tu-Sat 5:30 - 7pm

All plates $5, Selected bottles of wine $15
