At the U-District’s Flowers Bar & Restaurant, happy hour brings the bargain-priced enchantment of $3 well drinks and tap beer (including Maritime Islander, Pyramid Hefeweizen, Hale’s Red Menace, and several other brands). For those seeking a little variety, there’s a $3 featured cocktail six days of the week—from Monday (kamikazes) through Saturday (margaritas). For the hungry, Flowers offers some lovely happy-hour edibles, including an Italian-chicken-sausage sandwich ($5) with eggs, tomatoes, and grilled red onions, and fresh cod tacos ($5) with cabbage, tomatoes, yogurt, onions, and cilantro.
