You know what's the best part of going back to work after a long holiday weekend? Knowing that Friday is just one day closer!

Congrats, people. You almost made it through another work week. Now, it's time to celebrate once again with some drinks and bites with friends.

But wait, you say... you spent all your money over Memorial Day and the only thing you've got in your pocket is a couple of slightly torn dollar bills?

You've got two options: You can either put the two bills together in a dark room, play some romantic music, and hope they multiply or...

You can come out to the New Times Broward/Palm Beach Happy Hours App Party on Friday, May 31 at Quarterdeck in Fort Lauderdale where the drinks are on us!

What better place to make your social network a reality than a bar called American Social? It's almost like we plan these things...
Need a drink? There's an app for that!

Say what you will about it, social networking isn't going anywhere. For some, that's a cause for sorrow and others a cause for joy. For the naysayers, the physical distancing, the impersonal nature of high-tech communication is what gets them down.

"What happened to interacting face to face?" they ask. And you know what, they've got a point.

Bars and pubs were the original social network, long before Facebook was a gleam in Mark Zuckerberg's eye. So, we've come up with an app and an event that brings the techies and the luddites into sync.

A $5 green tea sake mojito. 
The hunt for happy hour is a never-ending quest for any value-conscious booze hound. This is especially true for anyone hoping for a happy hour menu with more interesting choices than Miller Lite and onion rings. Last week's journey led my friend and me to the doors of Fusionarie Japanese Signature in Boca Raton's Royal Palm Place. This stylish restaurant has performed well with its dinner service (the rolls come highly recommended, particularly the mango roll) but the under-advertised happy hour deserves a little bump.

Sip Cheap Martinis at New Dog-Friendly Happy Hour at East End Brasserie

This is Logan, the fuzzy little mascot for East End Brasserie's new happy hour special.
In France, no one bats an eye when a Parisian brings her favorite pooch to the table. Not quite the case in the States. While the South Florida dining culture certainly is lax in many ways, it can still be a bit of a challenge for dog lovers to find canine-friendly hangouts that also happen to serve cheap booze. Leave it to a French bistro to help address this issue.

Starting today, East End Brasserie, located in the Atlantic Hotel, will introduce "Monday Mutts and Martinis." The happy hour is 5 to 9 p.m. with $5 glasses of house wine and signature martinis. Your pooch will score a "gourmet" treat. The happy hour will be held outside on the oceanfront terrace, and free valet parking is available.

Oceans 234 is giving free drinks to the tax man (or woman).
Tax day is tomorrow, April 17, and whether we owe money or are getting a refund, most of us can agree that the tax accountant, relentlessly figuring out tax rules and punching numbers on a calculator, usually gets no love... until now.

Oceans 234 in Deerfield Beach has heard the plight of the tax professional and is giving these brave men and women their due.

Tax professionals who bring in five or more guests tonight will receive a complimentary $50 bar tab -- which is probably enough for a round of drinks! The cofounder and director of operations for Oceans 234, Danielle Williams, is happy to pick up the tab for tax professionals. "Tax season is a stressful time of year for everyone, particularly in this challenging economy," Williams says. "If you're a tax professional, it's especially challenging."

Happy Hour at The Grateful Palate in Fort Lauderdale Gets a Makeover

grateful_palate_happy_hour.jpg
Happy hour at Grateful Palate now means $5 glasses of wine and $6 bites.
When The Grateful Palate in Fort Lauderdale -- which recently made the Clean Plate Charlie list of "South Florida's best places to sip wine" -- welcomed sommelier David Hults in mid-February, the wine expert came with some ideas on a revamped happy hour to replace the restaurant's existing after-work deal.

The newly extended hours of happiness are 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Previously, happy hour was unavailable on Saturday nights. In addition, "buy one, get one" has been replaced with five wines (two reds, two whites, and a rose) offered at $5 a glass.

Cheap Booze Watch: Uncle Julio's in Boca Raton Has a New Happy Hour

Uncle Julio's on Facebook
Clock watchers need their margarita fix.
​Happy hour is never more than a few moments from the average clock-puncher's mind, and when we catch wind of a chance to guzzle margaritas (and beer, wine, whatever) at a lower price, our ears perk up.

Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food in Mizner Park -- you know; that place at the north end of the park with the blasting music, open doors, and tasty guacamole -- has launched a new happy hour this week with a pretty straight-forward concept.

The 3-to-7 menu means a range of drinks are priced at $3 to $7 from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

In the $3 bracket, you'll find domestics like Bud Light and Miller Lite, or "imports" like Corona and Tecate. House wines are $4. The Texas-based chain's signature swirl margaritas are $5. For those who haven't yet indulged in the cocktail, it's a frozen blend of margarita and sangria.

Martini Madness at La Scaletta Ristorante & Pizzeria

La Scaletta
La Scaletta's lemon basil martini is making us thirsty.
​There's something about a martini that we adore. Maybe it's the sophistication of the glass or the ritual of watching the bartender shake the cocktail and pour the ice-cold libation, possibly leaving the shaker at the bar with a few precious additional drops of the delicious libation we are about to enjoy.

So what makes a martini even better? When it's five bucks. Starting tomorrow, March 6, La Scaletta Ristorante in North Palm Beach is offering a weekly Martini Madness night, featuring a dozen different martinis priced at an attractive five dollars each, every Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m.

​
Navigating the happy hour scene on Fort Lauderdale beach is no easy task.  The choices of where to go are endless however the scene once you get there is the same -- salacious meat markets, skeevy (but kind of wonderful) dive bars, and South Beach bar wannabes commingle on the weather-beaten A1A strip.  If you've grown weary of being surrounded by leathery barflies, ostentatious executives, and glittery gold diggers, East End Brasserie's happy hour may be more your speed.
