HAPPY HOUR
W.A. Frost Happy Hour
Apparently, last year Happy Hour went AWOL at W.A. Frost. But now it's back after a long absence, and can be enjoyed seven days a week, and in both the Historic
Main Bar and the Outdoor Garden Bar. All you have to remember is $4. That goes for select wines, tap beer, rail drinks, and house-infused cocktails. If you are ambitious, also remember $5. That gets you a rotating array of appetizers, like Calamari, Asian BBQ Chicken Wings, Shrimp and Chorizo Croquettes, or Mini Steak Sandwich and Fries. Count us in.
Happy Hour 7 days a week, 4 - 6 p.m. and 9 - 11 p.m., W.A. Frost, Selby and Western Avenues, St. Paul
Little known secret...The Caterpillar Lounge at Azia Restaurant has amazing electronic music and late night happy hour seven days a
week! While you most likely are familiar with the delightful dining experience that is Azia and/or Anemoni Sushi Bar, you may not have done the after-hours scene in the Caterpillar Lounge - at least not on a Monday. Tonight, join hosts Killa-B and Kelly Fisher along with electronic music scene staple Jobot, who will transform Azia's back room into a bass-heavy robot den. Enjoy a long list of wicked drink and appetizer specials (we highly recommend the Lychee-tini with a side of cranberry puffs.) For an impressive late night date, or even a Monday decompression cocktail hour, the Caterpillar Lounge at Azia is where it's at.
10pm, Azia's Caterpillar Lounge, 2550 Nicollet Avenue S, Minneapolis, Free
