Happy Hour at Randolph's

Bar and Lounge Happy Hour 4pm to 7pm Daily
1/2 Priced Appetizers, Drafts, Well, and Wine
Daily Happy Hour specials changing monthly


This was a very special day, not only did I get to enjoy Randolph's Happy Hour, I also helped celebrate the birthday of William Randolph Hearst, the namesake for Randolph’s Restaurant and Bar, with 1¢ Coors Light Drafts.



Randolph's, located inside the Warwick Hotel, is an upscale restaurant and bar. An added benefit is that they offer complimentary valet parking or you can find a free street spot after the surrounding meters stop charging at 6pm. The day I went they had a wine tasting event and a large private party in the restaurant. The vibe was definitely upscale, but relaxed in the bar... this would be a great place to unwind after a long days work. Our group sat in the bar to take advantage of the sweet deals happening that night. Service was a little slow because there was only one bartender with no help, so I can sympathize.

So I tried the wings, calamari, mussels and the crab risotto. My Favorite by far was the calamari. It was REALLY GOOD! Crispy with an excellent aioli sauce drizzled over the top. The wings were ok, but not great. I wish the mussels would have been a little tougher, they were a bit mushy for my taste. The crab risotto was pretty good, but you only get four, so not as good of a value.

Drinks:

I was taking advantage of the one cent Coors Light Drafts, but they did offer some other great beer options on the draft list. They also have a full bar and wine, all of which are half off during happy hour.

Like I said before, this would make a nice little after work spot to unwind. The happy hour goes till 7pm which is always nice if you get off work late. Try the calamari, it's pretty darn good. Be sure to check out their website for events, they have quite a bit going on each month.
