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 

Twisted Cork Happy Hour Review

All I can say for Twisted Cork is....to just GO!! I promise you won't regret it. Located on Pacific Street (10730 Pacific Street) this place is a gem! Again...just go. You on a diet? Thats alright everything is Natural amd fresh! I'm not going to give you a big spill and tell you how magnificent the Juan de Fuca Tacos are. Tortillas tasted like it just came out the oven. Or how the Whidbey Shrimp with grapfruit is like beautiful fireworks in your mouth.  Again...just go! Twisted Cork gets 4 smiles

The Claim House Review

The Claim House offers #HappyHour 7 days a week from 3-6pm in the lounge area. Located in Ramada Inn on South 72nd, this place is definitely a Happy Hour Girls dream. The Claim House offers $2 Bud Lite, custom bar entrees and get this $2 Vodka, Whisky, Gin, Rum, and Tequila. Girl get into this...you telling me that I can order a tall Vodka with cranberry and pineapple for $2? Yes Girl! How about Tequila with pineapple and orange juice for $2? YES GIRL!  

On top of awesome drink specials their food is amazing. The Claim House offers custom bar entrees. I had the Lasagna with Green Beans and a House Salad. Simple, fresh and delightful is the best way to put it. The Claim House is one of those spots where you can come relax, eat, drink, and think about how your're gonna kill your boss. Not really, but you know you want to. I give The Claim House 3 Smiles ;-)

Twisted Fork Happy Hour Review

Review-Remix!!!!! It was only right to visit Twisted Fork on my Anniversary!  April 2, 2013 was when God gave me the vision for #H3G at Twisted Fork. Wow we've came so far but so much more to do! Im soooo excited and ready to get to work!  Twisted Fork offers discounted bar food and cocktails.  I must say they don't have a grand selection of food but their cocktails is a different story.  If you like anything tropical try "Christmas in July". (Grape vodka,  blue curacao, pineapple and orange) Remind me of a bomb pop. Twisted's wings are always on point but honey the Spinach Artichoke Quesadilla was everything!!!!! Crispy and creamy you didn't need chicken! 

Zin Room review

Zin Room Happy Hour offers half off Bar food, $2 off Cocktails, $1 off beers and discounted wines. Located right next to Hotel Deco downtown. Zin Room offers a relaxing atmosphere where you can sip your wine and dine. As much as I enjoyed relaxing I personally didn't enjoy my food. I started of with the La Floridita Daquiri. (Bacardi Light Rum, Dakuyper, Michigan Cherry, Grapefruit juice, lime juice and simple Syrup) Very citrus-y if you like that kind of thing. I really didn't care for it plus the guy who made it never made a drink before! As far as food.....yeah not that great either. The Bistro Burger Sliders made with Brie,caramelized onions, and mustard was okay. I LOVE Brie cheese but I don't think I care for it warm. The Ranch Fries was delicious! I also had Tempura Battered Aspargus with Garlic Parmesan dipping sauce. Delicious without the tempura, I peeled that off. Overall honestly I can say I didn't enjoy the food at Zin Room.BUT what I sampled was their Bar Food. Zin offers Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner which may taste different. I give Zin 2 Smiles.

Roja Mexican Grill Review

If you're a resident of Omaha, I know you're familiar with Roja. Currently there are two locations, one downtown and the other in west Omaha. My hunny amd I visited the West O location during Reverse Happy Hour. This was my first time eating at Roja and we had a ball! We started off with their Margaritas, which was EVERYTHING by the way!!! I absolutely loved the nachos ($5)!!!! The portion can def feed two! I love the taquitos!!! Roja def has an amazing HH, mostly everything is under $5. You CAN'T beat that!!! Roja get 3 1/2 Smiles :)

Plank Review

Ooohhhhhh Plank!!!! I had a fab time by myself this fab afternoon at Plank right next to Eat the Worm. Plank is known for their Oyster Bar, but you have to try the calamari!! I give Plank 5 stars!!!
