Recovering from a year that has had a few too many (if such a thing is possible) meals at Restaurant Eve and a few too few $20 Tuesdays, I'm in search of the best local happy hours. I'd love to spend no more than $20/$30 total for two people, including bevs, but still roll happily home...

My current favorite is Mexicali Blues in Clarendon -- good food and great happy hour prices. Lower drink prices (sorry, I usually stick with Dos Equis draft and don't pay attention to what the price difference is!) and it's buy one/get one free appetizers. Yum. There are days I dream of their plantanos fritos... :raz:

I've also heard that Matuba has $1 sushi Mondays but have not yet been fortunate to take advantage...soon!!!

Any suggestions?

Sounds like David Greggory has a great HH! I've had a few dinners there when in town on business and will certainly try the HH if I have the opportunity next time I'm in DC.

A new Morton's opened up in Bethesda and it has a bar area that they are calling Bar 1221. The bar menu is much more reasonable than the regular one, but what is really notable, is that before 6:30 pm and after 9:30 pm, all of the "bar bites" are $3.

I was there on Friday night and I think our group ordered everything on the menu: the petite filet sandwiches, mini cheeseburgers, chicken tenders (or as they call them, cougenettes (???), crab and artichoke dip, potato skins. I don't think anyone ordered the "colossal shrimp". The biggest hits were the filet sandwiches (of course), the mini burgers (cheddar cheese and mini brioche buns) and crab and artichoke dip (lots of lump crab).

They have an extensive martini list too but I just stuck with wine.
