Crab fat caramel, peanuts, cilantro oil. $11.99
Hot Joy, San Antonio TX
Mmm, these wings were SO delicious! They were greasy at all and the flavors were wonderful. They were slight sticky, sweet and salty, and perfect.
Respect Your Elder: gin, elderflower, grapefruit, house made ginger beer. Happy hour $4.99
Samurai cats bathroom wall paper.
Served with Thai dip. Happy hour $3.50
Hot Joy, San Antonio TX
I loved this place! It was fun, hip, and the food was delicious. And the snacks during happy hour were super cheap! These freshly fried shrimp chips were hot and SO flavorful. They really didn’t need the Thai dip to add any more flavor. The dip was definitely salty, but I guess that’s intentional to get guests to drink more.
Lone Star tall boy. Happy hour $1.99
Spiced-potato patty, chutneys, caramelized onions and “gunpowder” – ground chiles and lentils, with side salad. Happy hour $7
Dosa, San Francisco CA
I really liked this slider. The potato patty was delicious, but I was perplexed by the “gunpowder”. I really didn’t know how to eat it. I tried dipping the slider into it, but it was just dry and odd.

Kingfisher lager. Happy hour $4
Capers, red onion, dilled cream cheese, mini bagels. $12.75
Mountain Room Lounge, Yosemite National Park CA
This wasn’t much better than cafeteria food. The smoked trout was dry and the mini bagels were super hard. So disappointed!
Merced River, Yosemite Valley.
Local free range beef simmered with organic pinto and kidney beans, Fiscalini Farms cheddar, sour cream, red onions, and corn muffin. $12.75
Mountain Room Lounge, Yosemite National Park CA
This tasted great, and there was plenty of it to fill you up of a chilly evening. Spoiler alert: I think they sell the same thing at the food court for much cheaper. Wish I would have known, lol! No matter though, it still tasted great!
Yosemite Falls.
Salsa fresca and tortilla chips. $4
Mountain Room Lounge, Yosemite National Park CA
Meh, this was kind of a throw-away appetizer. The salsa might as well have been canned because it wasn’t very good or memorable, and the chips were a bit stale.
Half Dome. $6.75
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. $6.75
Yosemite Falls.
Smuggler’s Bowl: spiced and dark rum, brandy, fresh orange and lime juices, local handmade orgeat. Happy hour $15
Tonga Room, San Francisco CA
Came here after work for happy hour and had a blast! The Tonga Room is a historical bar in San Francisco and I finally made it after SO many years of living in this wonderful city. The service can be bit hard to get a hold of since the place was packed from the get-go, but the drinks were yummy and you can’t beat the cheesy tiki atmosphere. And they have random rainstorms for goodness sake!
Zombie: blend of three rums, fresh lemon, lime, pineapple and passion fruit juices plus Angostura bitters. Happy hour $9
Mai Tai: blend of rums from Trinidad and Jamaica, curacao, local handmade orgeat and fresh lime juice. Happy hour $9
The Tonga Room.
Vodka, soda, splash of cranberry juice. Happy hour, 2 for $6
Toad Hall, San Francisco CA
Happy hour in the Castro and really get you “happy”, lol! The drinks are strong and they’re super cheap so drink responsibly. 🙂
Cornichons, mustard, grilled levain. Happy hour $6
Farallon, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was SO yummy, and for only six bucks during happy hour! We had to ask for a bit more bread, but I loved the variety for the value.
Classic Manhattan. Happy hour $6
One dozen served with champagne mignonette. Happy hour $12
Farallon, San Francisco CA
These were good (not the best), but at a dollar each I’m not gonna complain too much. As long as I had a bit of the mignonette with them I was fine. Some of them weren’t shucked very cleanly though, but the seaweed garnish was a nice touch.
April 29, 2015. Half dozen, happy hour $6
Classic Manhattans. Happy hour each $6
Served with ranch dressing. $8
Balancoire, San Francisco CA
Sure these jalapeno poppers were probably from a huge frozen bag from Costco, but they were still great. I knew what I was getting when I order them so I wasn’t disappointed by the low quality. I did like that they were fried well and not at all greasy. Who doesn’t love cheap junk food now and then?
San Francisco sunrise.
Red curry sauce. Happy hour $1 each
E&O Kitchen and Bar, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these dumplings were really good! I thought the combination of butternut squash and red curry would be weird, but it actually tasted great. The dumplings had a wonderful texture and the sauce was a nice change of pace for pasta.
