Why not toast to the summer season with some delicious deals? If you’re looking to shake things up a bit on your summer happy hours, you’ll want to check out these Central Phoenix must-sees.
Postino Central
An oldie but a goodie! Seriously, you can’t go wrong with a happy hour stop at Postino Central. Lest you forget, wine and pitchers of beer are just $5 every day until 5 p.m. And how can we not mention that Board & Bottle deal? Stop by on any Monday or Tuesday night after 8 p.m. and you can get a bottle of wine and a bruschetta board for just $20.
Buck & Rider
Really, we love this spot no matter the time of day, but happy hour is always a treat with freshly-shucked oysters and deals on popular dishes like voodoo fried rice, white fish ceviche and steak tartare. When it comes to cocktails, Buck & Rider does not disappoint and we always feel a little tinge of excitement when we see that the house Highballs and specialty cocktails are going for a killer deal – $7 and $8, respectively.
Huss Uptown
Nothing satisfies on a hot summer day quite like an ice-cold beer. When we get a hankering for some hops, we head to Huss at Uptown Plaza. Their freshly-crafted local beer has a flavor for every palate. At happy hour, you can find select pitchers at just $6, plus $1 off on wine and a special on their famous green chile pork, roast beef and caprese sliders.
Switch Restaurant & Bar
This is another neighborhood spot that we’ll visit any chance we get. It’s a real treat at happy hour, too, with $4.50 for beers, wine and well cocktails, as well as $2 off their signature cocktails and appetizers. They also do a reverse happy hour from 9 to 11 p.m. and, on Mondays from 5 to 10 p.m., offer a bottle of Arizona Stronghold wine and an appetizer for just $20.
The Gladly
We’re glad (ha!) to report that The Gladly is another one of those Phoenix gems that believes in the all-day deal. This hotspot offers deals on drinks from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on food from 3 to 6 p.m. On the generous menu you’ll find roasted brussels sprouts, kimchi chicken wings and a raw bar with oysters, crudo and shrimp, plus cocktails on draft and featured wines.
