It wasn’t like they were even all that busy.įYI: Don’t be fooled by the soju and wine list, this is actually a full bar. They didn’t give us napkins or utensils until we asked for them and we had to ask for water several times, too. But wasn’t crazy about the sweet potato melt which was the equivalent of a plate of nachos with the cheese hardening as it grows cold and transforming this dish into one big brick of bad-for-you.

I liked the pulled pork sliders, which were nice and tender, and the potstickers were decent. And I’m not the biggest fan of soju, so that leaves not many drinking options for me here. Gyenari (Hite Beer $3 and a bottle of soju for $6, $2 off other drinks, and $4 apps - 4-7pm daily): I wasn’t all that crazy about this one, mainly for the fact that $2 off cocktails isn’t much of a discount when they’re normally priced at $11. UPDATE: Happy hour is now only til 6:30pm.

And even though it was inauguration night, the one TV over the bar was tuned to some nature show.

Mmmm, Van-hattannnn.įYI: Flip-flops aren’t allowed just ask my friend Shelley who had stopped in briefly before her yoga class. BTW, I’m really curious about their Van-hattan cocktail ($14) which is a Maker’s Manhattan with vanilla bean extract. This is my happy hour destination in Culver City fer sure from now on…or until I get bored with the same ol’ appetizers and cocktails. Tasty with that sauce but definitely not enough for two and barely enough for me. I could see two people sharing this appetizer. After I ran out of bread, I just spooned that cheese into my mouth. Now had it been goat cheese instead of gruyere… But mmm, it was divine with the bread and even without the bread. For me, the tartness of the apple didn’t really work with the cheese kinda overpowered it. The fondue was accompanied with bits of bread and green apple. I started to feel the silliness set in a quarter of the way through my second drink.įor food, I ordered the cheese fondue and the shrimp cocktail. The mojitos were kinda small but pretty potent. The bartender asked me if I was expecting a guest and when I said “no” she looked at me funny. I immediately ordered two mojitos (that’s TWO cocktails for $8!) since I now only had 10 happy hour minutes left.

Wuut? Did no one get the DC memo? Ah well, everyone’s loss is my gain. (I had unsubscribed after getting too many things about stuff I didn’t care about but after this tidbit I resubscribed.) I love Fraiche but find it too hard on my wallet for casual dining and cocktailing so naturally was ecstatic to find that they started a “Gourmet Hour.” Yes, their happy is so fancy it’s gourmet.Īt a quarter to 7pm I was surprised to arrive at a fairly empty restaurant bar. But I always seem to make it with 15 minutes to spare, so I just double up on my drink order and I’m fine.Īnyway after the jump here are three that I’ve tried.įraiche ($3 beer, $4 mojitos/cosmos and wine, $5 appetizers - 5:30-7pm daily): I heard about this from a friend who subscribes to Daily Candy. The only thing is they all end at 7, barely giving me enough time to find street parking (increasingly difficult in buzzy Culver City), run down there and find an open bar stool. So I was giddy to find that Culver City has a wealth of happy hours, well, I found three. I’m always on the hunt for a decent happy hour on the Westside since I can never seem to make it on time for the ones in Hollywood and downtown.
