5 Happy Hours Not to Miss in Gresham

GRESHAM, OR- Want to grab a beer or a burger after work this week? Maybe you're not quite 21, but would like a nice mocktail? How about a rousing round of Mario Cart paired with a pint of Pilsner or a mason jar of Merlot? Read on.

• Bar 33, popular among the younger (arguably rowdier) Gresham folk, is famous for their live music as well as their drink specials. Their happy hour runs daily from 5:00 p.m - 7:00 p.m and they offer .50 off all food and drinks. While this may not seem like a significant amount of savings, their drinks start pretty cheap. The Blue Ball special, consisting of a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and a Fireball shot, will only run you a cool $6.50-at regular price.

Address: 33 NW 1st Street, 97030 Gresham, OR

• Spinella's Off the Wall hosts their happy hour Monday-Friday from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Their live music calendar is packed with local musicians from Gresham and the surrounding Oregon area, making Spinella's a prime spot to pull up a chair, pick up a pint or a pitcher and listen to some sweet tunes.

Address: 436 N Main Avenue, Gresham, OR 97030

• Pleasant Home Saloon is the place to go if you're a gin lover. They're famous for their stacked cheeseburgers (see below- the Prime Rib burger, served with fries, will run you a mere $10.75). Happy Hour is from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Grab a domestic beer for $2, a well drink for $2.50 or a micro brew for $3.50.

• The Lucky Pint is the self-proclaimed 'place for craft beer in Gresham.' Happy Hour runs from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day Sunday. Wednesday is 'Geeks Who Drink' trivia night, starting at 8:00 p.m. and Friday night, they bust out the fishbowl specials. These aquatic alcoholic beverages are the equivalent of 6 cocktails, and a quick way for groups to get a nice buzz on a budget.

• Happy Hour (aptly named) puts a modern twist on the mixed drink. Happy Hour serves funky, unique mocktails-putting a fresh spin on being a teetotaler or just underage. Instead of a Bloody Mary, what about an Impaled Queen (House Bloody Mix)? Instead of a lemon drop, how about a Beyonce (Lavender, lemon juice and soda)? Their signature cocktails put a creative spin on some classic American mixed drinks; the 'Bomb Collins,' for example, has a dash of Lavender syrup.
