Canseven days of happy hour happinessbe experienced in Washington, D.C.? Of course.

Sure, this is a city notorious forcocktails that run in the double digits和small plates that cost an arm and a leg, but it's also home to some happy hour deals found seven-days-a-week.

In this Eater guide, there are two spots to choose from each day. The first option is a way to save atfancier barsand restaurants. The second option is just plainly adirt-cheap deal, where the drink and food specials won't set drinkers back more than a few dollars.

Either way, pick a day, pick a spot, and it's off to seven days of happy hour happiness.

Tuesday: Le Grenier

On H Street, happy hour doesn’t get much classier than Le Grenier on Tuesday nights. This is a comfortable and quiet bar, usually with a barstool open. From 5-7 p.m. wines (by the glass) as well as cheese and charcuterie trays are half-price.

Tuesday: Impala Cantina

Copy Link

Impala Cantina is new to H Street, opening back in May, but already it’s showing off some happy hour deals, especially with Taco Tuesday. Their Mexican pork tacos are $2 until close on Tuesday. That’s in addition to other happy hour specials that change from week-to-week and goes from 5-8 p.m.

Wednesday: Range

Copy Link

This spring, Range launched a new happy hour menu at the front bar. It’s a fancier way to spend happy hour and take advantage of food deals.

Wednesday: DC Reynolds

Copy Link

Petworth people swear by the DC Reynolds' "BOGO" happy hour. And, on hump day it’s a bargain. Happy hour is buy one, get one until 9 p.m. Order up two drinks alongside a pork belly sandwich, and you’ll still have a few dollars left in your pocket to make it through the rest of the week.

Thursday: Vinoteca

Copy Link

Can happy hour come with a toy? Vinoteca seems to think so. The backyard bocce bar appeals to the inner child with fancy, adult-themed happy meals on Thursdays from 5 p.m. to close. Choose from a hot dog, homemade chips and sparkling wine, or a burger, chips and a craft beer. Each meal comes served on a platter and with a pair of wayfarer sunglasses.

Friday: Bottom Line

Copy Link

Then, there’s the bottom-line focused drink deal at Bottom Line each Friday from 4-8 p.m. If it’s been a particularly long week and price point matters, then this is the bar. Miller Lite beers go for $1 each.

Saturday: Mandu

Copy Link

It’s almost impossible to find a good happy hour on Saturday night, which is why Mandu gets a special nod for offering a late night happy hour deal from 11 p.m.-1 a.m. After a long night out, these bar bites cost between $5-7 each. The menu includes Korean fried chicken, Korean style tacos and pa jeon, a mixed seafood and scallion pancake.
