Cheap Thrills

I’ll admit it- I enjoy the finer things in life. My wallet? Not a fan. So in lieu of creating a profile on sugardaddy.com or the millionaire’s club, I’ve decided to search for cheaper ways to enjoy my favorite things.


Happy Hour: the budgeter’s best friend

Stingray Sushi- a personal fav because it lasts until 7pm, a whole 30 minutes longer than most happy hours in the area.

Hula's- nothing says happiness like a fruity concoction, cheap tacos and surf paraphernalia. Hang 10 or just hang out.

St. Francis- high class, but lots o sass. Excellent vino, gourmet bar snacks and an attractive staff make this a go-to spot.

Reverse Happy Hour: the workaholic’s best friend

Stay late at the office AND get your drink on, it’s a win-win. If I had known about this little gem while in NYC, I would’ve been one happy lady, but unfortunately, I first heard of the idea upon moving to AZ. Here’s a few places that got it right.

Power Hour at Morton's- the steakhouse's version of happy hour (5-6:30)and reverse happy hour(9-11). Take advantage of this amazing deal for $5 bar bites that include crab cakes and steaks.

Trader Vics- Yum. I think it’s pretty obvious that I like things with a tropical twist, but this place offers a diverse selection of food and drink for cheap during both their regular and reverse happy hour.

Zen 32- Sushi for me? Shi shi. Maybe that’s ‘Thank You’ in Chinese, but this place is so good, I get confused… be sure to snag the free food by the bar.
