Merry's Comments: Happy hour is available throughout the establishment not just at the bar. The appetizer menu is pretty extensive and the drink prices were exceptional. It was a little noisy though, but it was a busy night and the wait staff was hustling! Service was quick as was the food delivery, but don't get your hopes up on the food -- it was just average in taste/quality.

Great HH Food at McCormick & Schmick's
McCormick & Schmick's
8100 East Union Ave
Denver CO
Most recent date visited: 13 November 2009
Happy Hour: Monday - Friday, 3-6:30 pm, Saturday 4-6:30 pm, Sunday 4-9 pm, and Friday and Saturday 9-10 pm -- in the bar only
Drink Specials: Daily drink specials, but not at great prices, i.e. Saturday - $3.95 Sam Adams, Tuesday $5.95 Apple Mojitos. Daily, the house wines are $5 for Canyon Road chardonay and cabernet and Miller Lite is $3.75
Food Specials: GREAT! Prices range from $1.95 for chicken satay (3 skewers) and sweet potato fries to $4.95 for black mussels and fried calamari. The food we tried from the whole range was excellent!
Merry's Rating: 4 stars
Merry's Comments: The happy hours/days are great, the bar area is large and additional bar seating is available in an adjacent room. The atmosphere and service were superior. The only drawback is that drinks were not too discounted, but the food prices made up for it. The food specials change by location so be sure to check out the HH menu online before you go to get your tastebuds ready!

Daily HH at Armando's
Armando's Ristorante Italiano
Parker, CO
Most Recent Date Visited: 17 August 2009
Happy Hour: Bar & Patio Only. Monday-Friday, 2:30-6 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.-6 p.m., closed Sunday
Drink Specials: 1/2 price wine by the glass, draft beer, & $5 martini special
Food Specials: select appetizers from $3-6
Merry's Rating: 4.5 stars
Merry's Comments: This is one of the few locations in the area that have a daily HH! The wine included in HH is "any wine offered by the glass". The appetizers are a nice variety with at least one salad option, there's always a ravioli special that's been very tasty. The bar area is small and seating is limited, so it's better for small groups (2-4). Haven't tried the patio ... yet! The service is excellent, so I upped the rating after this most recent visit.

Merry's Comments: Since moving to Colorado from Maryland, one thing we really missed is fresh seafood, this restaurant is one of the best we've found when we need a fish fix. The bar area is medium-size but gets very busy during HH. The service is excellent and the food is very tasty, though many of the appetizers available are deep fried, you can't go wrong with the cup of clam chowder for $2!

HH at Maggiano's
Maggiano's Little Italy
Englewood, CO
Most Recent Visit: 31 July 2009
Happy Hour: Monday - Friday, 3 - 7 p.m., bar only
Drink Specials: house wines, draft beer, and well drinks at reduced price most wines starting at $5.
Food Specials: Special pricing on appetizers from $5-8.
Merry's Rating: 3.5 stars (lowered from 4.5)
Merry's Comments: Great tasting food, the bar menu items are just the right size for a light meal or for sampling a variety of the kitchen's offerings. The atmosphere is very nice with lots of old world charm and the service is very good. It can get quite crowded as diners for the restaurant wait in the bar, but they move through pretty quickly. The rating was lowered a point from 4.5 to 3.5 because the cost increased quite a bit for food, the tier pricing where the most expensive appetizer was $3.95 changed to the cheapest appetizer priced at $5. Not such a good value but still the taste, atmosphere, and service were very good.
