    I have a few different happy hour places that I go…. On a Friday I will usually meet up with friends at the Hemlock in SF. On weekdays I keep it close to home with cheap beers at Lucky13. My HH places are usually a bit more rowdy at night, so I like to patronize them before the sun goes down.

    When the sun goes down, I’m usually at the Lone Palm.

    Not really. Not in ukiah anyways. I used to check out el sombrero here every friday afternoon in the summer for their happy hour, but have since just kind of lost interest

    I never go to a happy hour. It’s the last thing on my mind after work on Friday. Instead I work and then go home, maybe go out later.

    I tend to miss Happy Hour. Sorry if this sounds passive-agressive, friends, but I grew up with the idea that Happy Hour is from about 4:30-6:30 like something you go to immediately after you get off work, before dinner, etc. Most times I’ve gone to HH, I get there like an hour before anyone else and it sucks. Then my bros starting showing up at 6:30-7-7:30 and I am ready to do something else.

    typically, i am not off work until the happy hour has passed pass the mildly content hour to the bummer dude hour. then i go to (in santa cruz, ca):

    1) the red room
    2) the rush inn
    3) bowling alley (for karaoke)

    i think the last time i went to happy hour was at the gold club in SF during a conference three years ago. i DO NOT suggest the calamari.

    I don’t really do happy hours. I usually can be found doing one of two things after work:

    The gym. Or dinner and concert/movie/shopping.

    I sometimes will have a beer when I get home or at whatever place I may be. But I’ve never been to a real happy hour. I also have an aversion to going places in my work clothes. Cause I don’t want to possibly have anything ruin my ‘good’ clothes.

    Hell yes! I love happy hour. My main happy hour place is also the bar that I go to most in my neighborhood, it’s called Royale and has the best burgers ever.

    I also go to the Life Cafe sometimes. It’s famous for being the restaurant that the people from the musical Rent lived above or something.

    I don’t do Happy Hour in my normal clark kent life…but the last time I was in DC I checked out McCormick & Schmick’s HH. It was good – and there is one in downtown Sac which I might check out if my Naida could get a day off.
