Brio - Cherry Hill, NJ

Somewhat upscale, chain restaurant. Stumbled upon a happy hour.
M-F 4-6 pm.
Seated on the outside patio. Balmy night, but a mild breeze. It's a nice area, but the fact that it's right next to the busy parking lot is somewhat of a detraction. They would soo benefit from a line of inexpensive potted arborvitaes to make it more secluded.



BUT......
the drink prices and bar menu made up for the flaws. This could be my new favorite place, based on the menu.
$5 cocktails, and cosmos.................lots to choose from. The black raspberry cosmo was good, as was the vodka martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives, and the Manhattan was good.



The food was not only ultra affordable at only $3.98 per, but really very good too.

Crispy Shrimp Piccante, Beef Carpacchio, Four Cheese Pizzetta, and Spicy Shrimp and Eggplant. YUMMMM

Bahama Breeze - Cherry Hill, NJ

OK, so it's kind of "processed" but it ain't bad.
Happy hour M-F from 4 - 6 PM Parking in the Mall parking lot can be a little challenging.
Decent drinks for a song--check out these $3 (that's right, $3) Bourbon and Ginger, and Vodka and Cranberry. Nice



And the Happy Aps were surprisingly good. Check out the Cheese Burger Sliders, and the Chicken Fried Sliders. Not haute cuisine, but not to bad at $5 each. They were tasty.

Scaturro's

Rte 73, between Evesham Rd and Kresson Rd. Remodeled farmhouse. Original older and newer additions. Happy hours from 4:30 til 6:30 pm Monday - Friday. Nice bar maids, friendly atmosphere. Slightly older crowd. Many regulars. $6 bar food, $5 Stoli mixed drinks. The HUGE plate of mussels are exceptional, in either red or white (try having them make the red a little spicy---fra diavolo style). Yummy. The pizzas (either vegetable or margarita) are tasty and crisp.


UPDATE - this placed is CLOSED and no longer exists

NoChe - Philadelphia

what a great place. Bright, inviting, loft setting with friendly staff, great drinks and good food.
5:30 start to Happy Hour. $3 beers, $5 cocktails and half priced brick oven pizzas.
The drinks were perfect. The pizzas, at only $5 each we not only reasonably priced, but wonderfully tasty. How can you go wrong.

Welcome to Happy Hour 4 U

Welcome to our new blog!

It's here that we will be giving you our best opinion of area eateries, pubs, lounges and other places to hang out, sip a few cocktails and enjoy a bite to eat.

While we are not "professional" food critics (meaning we don't get paid to do this, nor do we get paid to say good things about places), we appreciate good food and drink. As self proclaimed 'foodies' and 'cocktail connoisseurs', we consider ourselves to be good judges on quality, taste, value, service and ambiance. Not that most people don't, it's just that we feel strongly about all of them enough to help all of you have a great experience.

We've been busy trying out a bunch of places to evaluate as we worked to get this blog set up, so stay tuned for our first few post in the next few days. Initially we'll be evaluating Happy Hours around the Delaware Valley (mostly Philadelphia and South Jersey areas). If you like our honest and straightforward approach to giving you a 'heads-up', then surely we'll expand our scope to include others. We'll even take suggestions!

If you'd like to comment, please feel free to leave us a message. If you have opinions of your own, please feel free to collaborate. If you'd like to email us, please contact us at happyhr4U@gmail.com

Bon appetit!
