Late Night Happy Hours

This fancy-pants wine bar in SoMa makes an effort to court a late-night industry crowd with a drink-deal that puts even dive bars' to shame. After 10pm, a Kronenbourg is $3 and a shot of Fernet is only a buck. Want to go a little more upscale? A daily-selected red and white wine are each $6 per glass.

This SoMa Thai joint, in the former Jack Falstaff space, is slinging $4 appetizers and drinks from 10:30pm to 1 am, Thursday-Saturday. The selection includes a bevy of sakes and soju cocktails.

We don't know how they manage to stay in business giving away everything this cheap, this often, but every night is happy hour (4:30pm-close) at this SoMa Mexican joint, with $2 tacos, $3 drafts, and $5 margaritas and mojitos in all kinds of flavors.

On Olympia Mondays, cans of the brew are only a dollar, all night long at this unpretentious bar at the foot of Potrero Hill. Pair a few with a burger from their counter and a warm evening on the porch, and get ready for utter bliss.

They aren't on a set schedule, but Tuesdays are often $2 Tuesdays at this leather boothed Tendernob lounge, with cocktails, beer, and small bites going for a pair of Washingtons until midnight. The deal is irregular, but if it's on, their website will have the info under "Calendar."

This Embarcadero happy hour stalwart has gone full-time. Pomegranate margaritas, mojitos, draft beer, and select wines by the glass go for $4, and pizza for $5, all day, every day.

Happy Bucking Friday is the official name of this Mid-Market bar's Friday-night happy hour, and we have to concur. From 5pm until closing on Friday, domestic drafts are $3, cocktails $4, and sliders $2.

This industry-favorite Mission bar has reasonable prices every day, but Whiskey Wednesdays are its crown jewel. A PBR and a shot of whiskey are a mere $5, all night long. Humpday never felt so good.

This Mission spot's nouveau-Mexican cuisine ends early to make room for its late-night hour of joy. From 11pm to midnight, Sunday-Thursday, they offer $2 beers and $3 margaritas or Fernet shots.

This Mid-Market club does happy hours as regularly as the rest of us brush our teeth (but with slightly more variety). On Monday and Wednesday, it's $3 drafts and wells. Tuesday brings $3 Bud Light and $4 shots of Jameson, and Thursday, $5 Jager bombs. All of these deals run until 11pm, except for Thursday's, which goes all night.

Happy hour has been extended to the late shift at this Mission sushi joint: Sunday-Thursday 9-11pm, and Friday and Saturday 10pm-1am. On tap: $3 Kirin and small hot sakes, and $3.50 hand rolls.

This Inner Richmond Asian-fusion joint has some good Wednesday deals, with $4 cocktails and half-price appetizers until 11pm. And if you're a college student, Thursday is pretty much insane: your student ID gets you a free shot and $1 PBR

Though it's arguably the city's worst-kept secret, it's still hard to beat the $2 drinks and appetizers on a "Twosday" at City Tavern from 3-10pm. Just watch out for the Marina girls stumbling in their stilettos.

Alcatraz-bound tourists swarm Butterfly by day, but when the Rock's revelers dry up, this Embarcadero restaurant transforms into a late-night cocktail lounge. On Fridays and Saturdays from 10pm to 12pm, they offer $3 beers and $5 top-shelf cocktails and wines by the glass.
