Somewhere between March Madness and weekly beers with your co-workers, you might be finding that your post-work drink habits are putting a strain on your wallet. Thankfully, there are a handful of new happy hours that recently launched in the city. Plenty of these are from restaurants that put an emphasis on their bar program—Mexican eateries, pizza spots, etc—but all of them know how to offer cocktails on a budget. Check out the latest list of happy hours to hit LA.
Maru: The Westside omakase and steakhouse spot can be a little pricey, but happy hour here helps relieve that burden. Creative cocktails go for $6, beer is half-price and select wines are $6 per glass. Plus, you can snack on affordable small plates like $3 house cut fries or $7 chicken with red quinoa and pickled radishes. Tue-Fri 5-7pm
Pizza Romana: This one's for all the night owls: Pizza Romana has started a reverse regional wine hour where you can explore a variety of red, white and sparkling Italian wines for $6 each, along with pizza and pasta for an additional $6. Nightly 9pm-close
