Mexico Lindo is pretty cheap for lunch, not a buffet, but can escape for well under $10 if you forgo a drink, just under $10 with a drink.

Yeah! Go Green Mill!!!

I hope nobody else finds out about the premium happy hour at Midi, because its been really nice having the best of the Northland in stellar happy hour deals all to ourselves while everyone else fights over Fitger's seating, as we dine in serene tranquility with cheap pints of Summit downstairs. If folks found out what a deal it was, it'd ruin it for us, so let 'em have the long wait upstairs or at the Blackwater Zoo. 

Sara's Table/Chester Creek is the only place where you'll find a free wheelin' Saturday or Sunday happy hour 4-7 with a good band like Dirty Horse to wash down your Surly.  Midi, by the way, is buy-one-get-one entrees on Tuesdays only 4-6 up to $20, but their food is quality, servers friendly, and they haven't seemed to waiver on either. (Green Mill's corporate factor repels me.)

What's wrong with going to Green Mill? It's Minnesota owned.

Wait, are we talking lunch or happy hour? Because these are very different things (except at Old Chicago where early happy hour goes from noon-3). 

Corporate-owned or not, Green Mill does have the best happy hour deals in town. Though Luce is a close second with 2 to 3 dollar tap beers and 2 dollar tacos. The tacos aren't really all that good, but the beers are, and with enough of them, anything tastes good!

Blackwater has $5 martinis. Hanabi also has a good happy hour, but I can't remember the prices.

Maya downtown is no more, but yes the half price long island during their happy hour with the Fajita Quesadilla is a damn good deal.

Luce no longer does the dollar taco's and PBR night anymore.  But Wednesday nights are half price taps, and their GIANT slices of pizza for around $3 I think are always good.

Green Mill app's have caused me to almost defecate in my pants on more than one occasion, those damn buffalo bites are marinated in ex-lax I swear, but they do have good wings and their sweet potato fries are great.  But whoever thinks they have the best happy hour in town I must be going to the wrong one because I thought it was only a dollar off tap beers and drinks?

Blackwater's pizzas are by no means large but definitely enough with a few half price tap beers, and the flat breads are even better, the Thai Chicken one is great or the Strawberry Goat Cheese one is also delicious and very interesting.  

At the Burrito Union you can get a pint and two taco's for $5 after 9 pm, unlimited.  Which is basically two free taco's since a pint is $4.75.  There wings have also gotten a lot better on Thursday nights and they're only .35 cents!

Lakes Ave Cafe's little late night pizza's are really tasty, and could make one person full easily.  Their drinks are not too cheap, but most are made with micro-distillery liquors, so you get what you pay for.

I've never been but if you don't mind a thousand+ college kids Grandma's Up Bar is $2 any cocktail on Thursday nights, including top-shelf liquors I've heard.
