Happy Hour. Two little words that bring such joy to so many. But who can get out of the office at four-frickin-thirty in the afternoon? Thankfully, restaurants and bars are figuring out that if they really want to entice all of us they’re gonna have to come up with something beyond the typical happy hour window when everyone’s 1) still at work 2) stuck in traffic or 3) not ready to get drunk quite yet. So I give you this list of late-night happy hours in Los Angeles offering a good time at a reasonable price and reasonable hour. (Bonus: Most include food specials, too.) If you know of any that should be included, please leave a comment below.

I cant wait until I can see this type of Article for Marijuana happy hours... Less Fights little DUI risk and not as mind altering

Who even has one drink anymore and then drives? CA needs money and DUI's are a cash cow. My friend was recently pulled over after leaving a bar in Costa Mesa, blew under the .08 and they are still coming after him with charges. The officer was obviously staking the place out.

Unless you live within walking distance (in LA?) or have a DD the days of happy hour are over. No thanks risking getting involved with the police state with even one drink.

While i would generaly agree wit what you are saying.. Drunk Driving is not a small issue and I dont mind cops stalking bars waiting for people to make a big mistake

The issue with going out in Los Angeles is that you have to deal with the socially uneducated who work at these places. Frustrated beyond belief that they have to work and not be in a movie. You becoming the problem because they have to serve you and not the other way around.

Which is why establishments should really focus on hiring for resume, experience, and perhaps opt for the college crowd; rather than dejected starlets and such.

SIGH ... as usual very westside heavy. ONE restaurant in the SFV...

How about renaming column "Westside Happy Hour"

Maybe that's just where all the good late-night happy hours are?

Nope- The writer just didn't reach far. Yelp has some lists, if anyone wants.

Not really ... it wouldn't be bad if they didn't always claim this was "in Los Angeles" when it's really more abou the westside.

I agree that the list is westside heavy, but there are places in the list from Sherman Oaks, Pasadena, Los Feliz, Hollywood, Downtown LA, Mid-City and a few spots that have multiple locations... thus renaming the list to "Westside Happy Hour' doesn't make sense....

Thanks for your very thorough analysis. I was going for sarcasm there ... but it's appreciated nonetheless.
