Happy Hour Happy Girl's Top 5 Happy Hours!!!

Since starting Happy Hour Happy Girl April of last year, I've enjoyed amazing dishes and fabulous after work cocktails.  The love I have for Happy Hours is so real. So real that is was hard to choose my Top Five ;-(. But no sad faces here, each spot has a special place in my heart. Here is my Top Five Happy Hours.

1).  Kona Grill- Omaha, NE

When people find out that I review Happy Hours, they always ask which place is my favorite. I always say Kona Grill. Why? Kona offers happy hour majority of the day each day, and all day SUNDAY! If you know me, you know I live for an all day happy hour. Another reason why Kona is my #1, is the prices. For $25 you can easily get a good meal for 2 maybe even 3. The sushi is divine and cheap (half price). Better than Omaha's favorite Sushi place. No shade.  

Happy Hour Times: Monday- Friday 3pm to 7pm. Monday- Thursday 9pm to 11pm. Friday and Saturday 10pm to 12am. Sunday- All day.   

295 N 170th St. Village Point

2) Rays in the City- Atlanta, GA 

My first review outside of Omaha and it was in ATLANTA, GEORGIA BABAAAYY! I'm still geeked about that. If you know my vision for #H3G then you'll understand.  I had the time of my life at Rays. Rays gave you the sensual and relaxed atmosphere which is perfect for after work drinks. The Calamari and shrimp I sampled was delicious and so was the cocktails. Rays is in downtown Atlanta on Peachtree. I highly recommend getting the Blue Cheese Chips (house made potato chips, bacon, and blue cheese). I know it may sound like a weird combination, but listen....its divine. 

Happy Hour Times: Monday-Friday 4:30-6:30pm

240 PeachTree ST NW, Atlanta GA

Yessss...Cotton candy. 

3. Salt 88

Another one of my all time favorite Happy Hours is Salt 88! Modern American with a Italian Twist. Earlier this year I hosted my First Anniversary for #H3G party at Salt 88. Excellent customer service, fabulous food and beautiful atmosphere. This summer they offered reverse happy hour on Thursdays nights from 10pm to 1am. I hope they bring it back for Summer of 2015 lets cross our fingers ;-) !!!.  Salt is another place that offers happy hours all day on Sunday. 

Happy Hour Times Monday-Saturday 3pm  to 630pm Sunday All Day

3623 N. 129th Street 

4. Twisted Cork Bistro- Omaha, NE

Twisted Cork is one of Omaha gems, a place that should have nation wide recognition.  Seattle to Omaha is the theme, and once you're there you'll feel like you're there! Seriously! Fresh and organic is what you'll get on your plate. I highly recommend the Juan de Fuca Tacos ( blue corn tortillas, miso glazed red salmon, bacon mayo, avocado aioli, mixed greens, and pico de gallo). One of my favorite tacos to date. Who would of thought bacon mayo with salmon would compliment each other so well.

Twisted Cork's menu is seasonal so the menu will change every once and awhile. 

Happy Hour Times: Monday- Saturday 3 to 6pm 

10730 Pacific Street 

5. Brix- Omaha, NE

Brix  has a very special place in my heart. Brix introduced me to the love of my life. Soon as we meet he never did me wrong, was always there for me when I needed him.  We celebrated the highs and the lows and recently watched Beyonce and Jay-Z On the Run Tour together. Oh, and let me not forget each Thursday we watch Scandal. His name is Stella Rosa. The love we have for each other is real, its a match made in heaven. For Brix I'll always be thankful. Seriously, Brix is one of those places where you'll get a experience. Its fun, casual, and you'll always have a great time! Throughout the resturant/store they place wine dispensing sytems and you can choose any wine you like!  

Happy Hour Times Monday- Saturday 3pm to 6pm

Midtown Omaha Location 

Ray's In The City Review

Ya girl did it y'all!!! I finally did a review outside of Omaha! Won't He do it!! I'm so thrilled to present to you Ray's In The City! Ray's has 3 locations in Georgia and today I'll be reviewing the Atlanta location on Peachtree. Ray's HH consist of 1/2 price small plates and $5 Absolute Martinis.  Fresh SEAFOOD, Prime STEAKS, and Fine WINES is the motto. Since I was in the A! I wanted to sample everything peach! First drink of choice was the Georgia Peach Martini made with Absolute Peach, peach schnapps, and a splash of orange juice. Heaven in a glass I say. If I wasn't with my boss I would've ordered two! :) The small plates we sampled were Ray's " New Orleans" BBQ Shrimp (cajun style, BBQ butter sauce, boursin grit cake), Crispy Calamari ( tomato marinara and lemon aioli), and Ray's Blue Cheese Chips (house made potato chips, bacon, and blue cheese). Besides the shrimp everything was worth the price. During HH you only get three shrimp but hey it was good regardless. The Chips were my fav! I never thought blue cheese and homemade chips would be so delightful. My overall experience with Ray's was great. They have a lounge area with tvs so you can watch the Falcons game. On the other side of the restaurant is the dinning area, where its a little quiter for a candle light dinner with your boo. Rays is for anyone, as long as you abide by the Business Casual dress code. For my first review outside Omaha....I give Ray 4 Smiles. :)
