Fleming's

Tinkled Pink $6

Now we all love a good drink or two, but let's admit it... it's the food that usually "wows" us at a happy hour. Of course there are a few exceptions such as the Edison where I mainly go for the cocktails, but usually it's the food that knocks my socks off.

I usually like to try happy hours at steakhouses because the food is usually pretty good and Fleming's is no exception. And not only is their food tasty, but they have a cocktail that is only 100 calories called "Tickled Pink". Well, as a girl who drinks entirely way too much (at least that's what my mama says)... this was a nice option to have.

On this trip, I went with Love and our new happy hour pal, Lauren. Lauren and I liked the Tickled Pink but it was too sweet for Love. Love went with the Vintage Vodka Martini and asked for very little Vermouth. So basically Love drank straight Vodka. My mama says Love also drinks too much, but since Love is funny it's okay. We also tried the Pomtini (Pomegranate Martini). That was Lauren's fave. But if you aren't cocktails peeps, Fleming's also offers 5 wines for $6 or Guinness Draft for $3.

Vintage Vodaka Martini and Pomtini - $6 each

Now for the nom, nom, nom part! Fleming's has a nice selection of eats but I think the $6 Prime Burger will give you the most bang for your buck 6 bucks.  Ours was cooked perfectly and the bacon "made" the burger.

Prime Burger $6

My other faves were the Tenderloin Carpaccio, Roasted Mushroom Ravioli, and Sweet Chile Calamari. Deeeelish.

We also had the Shrimp Cocktail and Seard Ahi Tuna, but I recommend the other dishes.

Now I normally don't like chain restaurants but I'll always make an exception for fine steakhouses. And since Fleming's is a chain, hopefully there is one close to you. Locations included Downtown (L.A. Live), Woodland Hills, and El Segundo. All three offer happy hour which they call "5 For 6 Till 7":

5 options of cocktails, wine, and food for $6 until 7pm.

So good food and good prices??? Yeah, Fleming's gets my Vixen's Stamp of Approval!

Saint Rocke

As many of you know, me and my happy hour crew have ventured to the South Bay to see what kind of happy hours are down there. Luckily we have found some mighty tasty treats and great deals. Saint Rocke fits in this category but it brings "a first" that even I haven't seen before. Happy hour bands!! Yes, bands as in "live music".  Sweet!!!  If you check out their website, you'll see that bands start at around 6:30pm on certain nights. Our girl, Love, had been to Saint Rocke before and has really liked all the bands she has seen. But let's talk more about happy hour!

Saint Rocke has happy hour Monday-Friday from 5-7:30pm and everything on the menu is $5!! Everything... all food and drinks!! Well, not the burgers or sandwiches but everything else is. And not only is the food cheap but it's really, really good. Scouts' honor!!


Now normally we are cocktail girls, but it was Valentine's Day so I thought I'd start out wine. I asked for a taste of the Liberty School Chardonnay and it was quite delicious. I liked it so much that I stuck with it all night. Love had 7 and 7s.

Liberty School Chardonnay

-Normally $9, but $5 at happy hour and it was great.

And all the food is 5 bucks, too*!!  We ordered four things and all of them we really good! The sliders were probably my favorite of the night.

 Strawberry Salad $5

w/ candied walnuts and goat cheese 

dressed with a light Balsamic Vinagrette

  

Asparagus Flatbread $5

with mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and mozzarella

 Baja Carne Asada Soft Tacos $5 for 3

*also comes with chicken

 Signature Kobe Sliders $5 for 3

with grilled mushrooms and chipotle mayo and

served on Hawaiian Sweet Bread

~nom nom nom nom~

Now showing what we drank and ate truly does not give this happy hour justice. You gotta check out the menus. Did I mention it's ALL $5*???

Let's start with the food:

And the drinks!

All that for $5??? Uh-maze-ing! This is definitely a great happy hour, so check it out the next time you are in the Southbay. You won't be disappointed.

Mediterraneo

As you may have read in my last post, me and the happy hour crew have headed to the Southbay to find all of their wonderful happy hours. We did a mini happy hour crawl to Mediterraneo and Sharkeez, and we loved both! We started with Mediterraneo because it's Love's favorite out of all of Hermosa Beach.

Mediterraneo's happy hour is Monday through Friday from 5-7pm and they offer 1/2 off house wine and all drafts beers, and selected tapas are 2 for 1... and they are great!

For happy hour drinks, House Wine and draft beer is half-off so they'll run you about $3. Their Sangria isn't discounted, but it's Love's favorite and wants me to tell everyone to try it. I tried it and it was really was good.

 Draft Beer is 1/2 off

Now on to the food!!! Here's what we had:

 Caprese $6*

*This is the regular price but remember it's 2-for-1!!

Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Basil, Olive Oil

 Sunchoke Pintxo $4*

Roasted Sunchokes, pesto

 Spanikopita $6*

Spinach, Feta, and pinenuts baked in Phyllo dough

 Polpette - $6*

Italian Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Tortilla Espanola $6*

Potato omelette with piquillos, mushrooms, 

fontina cheese served with garlic aioli

So my favorite out of all of these was the Tortilla Espanola. It was sinfully good. And I could have eaten that Garlic Aioli with a spoon. Mmm-yum! I liked all the other plates except the Sunchokes. Not that they were bad, they just didn't float my boat. We ordered two of each of the plates above (so 10 plates total) and it only came to $28. We split that four ways so with my $3 glass of wine, I only paid $10 before tax and tip. WOW!!

So check out the rest of the tapas available for happy hour. But if ya see two asterisks (**) next to an item, it's not available for the 2-for-1 discount.

Mediterraneo also has some other cool deals that run ALL NIGHT:
-Sangria Sundays: 1/2 off Sangria
-Draft Beer Mondays: 1/2 off Draft Beer
-Tapas Tuesday: 2 for 1 Tapas

Definitely a great find!!!

Sharkeez

Alrighty! It's time to finally hit some happy hours in the Southbay. We thought the best way to start out this venture was with a happy hour crawl.  So last week we went to Hermosa Beach and went to Mediterraneo and Sharkeez. We started at Mediterraneo and that place was great, but I deciced to post Sharkeez first because the prices there are just amazing!




Sharkeez happy hour is Monday-Friday from 3-7pm and offers 2-for-1 drinks and tons of food specials that are super cheap! Check 'em out:
 

 

And the deals don't stop there. You can get full entrees with rice and beans. You can get three items plus rice and beans for just $3.25. CRAZY CHEAP!

And on Wednesdays you can buy a burger and get All-You-Can-Drink PBR for one hour for just 99 cents! (11am-close)

Although the entree specials sounded awesome, we ordered three items from the top menu: 

Lobster Cigars $3.49
served with Picante Pepper Sauce
-Really good, and the sauce was hot!

Sonora Style Quesadilla w/ Chicken $1.75
-can also come with beef. It looks small in the picture but it's a full sized quesadilla and it was really good... a great mix of cheeses.

Grilled Lounge Burger $2.75
-Definitely tasty and I loved that it came with fried onion strings. It's not a huge burger, it was a decent size.











Another great thing is that all the drinks are 2-for-1, so you can get any drink you want!
I went Jameson on the rocks. So I got two Jamesons for $7. ♥ ♥ ♥

 Jameson Whiskey on the rocks $3.50

We were definitely happy campers and will be back soon! I just wish their happy hour was also on the weekend. Oh well... it's still a fabulous happy hour.
