Located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas (52nd street), McCormick and Schmick’s is probably the last place you’d venture into looking for a great happy hour deal. But if you go there Monday through Friday from 3:30pm-6:30pm and 9:30pm to close, you will find one of the most rediculous happy hour food deals in the city. Keep in mind these deals are only available in the bar area.
They seem to change the items listed on the menu from time to time, but here’s an example of some of the deals you’ll find. (make sure you’re sitting down for these, which I’m assuming you are unless you enjoy standing while surfing the net)
$1 Oysters and Clams
$1.95
Blackened Fish Taco
French Fried Potatoes w/ Truffle Butter
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
$2.95 (by far the craziest deal here)
1/2lb Cheeseburger and fries
$3.95
Buffalo Wings
Mac and Cheese w/ Bacon and Chipotle
Garlic Knots w/ Marinara Sauce
Red Curry Steamed Mussels w/ Tomato Concasse and Basil Chiffonade
$4.95
Peel and Eat Shrimp
Spicy Ahi Tuna Roll w/ Soy Sauce, Wasabi and Pickled Ginger
Chicken BBQ sliders w/ Cajun Chips
I know you are saying to yourself, “Self, how could a fine restaurant like this, serve a gourmet 1/2lb cheeseburger with fries for $2.95?!” All I can say is it’s true. You just have to spend at least $3.50 on drinks to get the food!
The only issue is there’s not any great drink deals during the happy hour. You can definitely get a beer, and have an early dinner all for around $10.
Here’s the weekly $5 drink deals:
Apple Martinis – Monday
Well Drinks – Tuesday
Blue Moon – Wednesday
Glass of Wine of the Day – Thursday
All I can say is get there early if you want a table, it fills up fast.
