Happy hour just got happier at Quarter Kitchen.

The thing about a recession is, it’s bound to hit everyone over the age of 23. Cutbacks are everywhere including your budget, but a girl still has to look good and have a little fun. So where do you go to wear your new Diane von Furstenberg dress (bought on sale, of course) without breaking the bank? The same San Diego landmark of luxury you’ve always gone to see and be seen - Ivy Hotel.

This spring, the Ivy’s Quarter Kitchen is giving you the opportunity to sample the kitchen’s wares while watching your pocketbook’s slender figure. The Ivy Hotel’s Happier Hour is the best kept secret in town. From 4-9pm – Sunday through Friday – Happier Hour caters to the after-work and pre-nightlife crowds with unique drinks and mouthwatering bites for much less than you’d expect.

Enjoy a full Quarter Kitchen meal at half the price when you order from the bar menu that includes sliders, vegetarian-friendly pastas, and the best part of any meal - dessert! Specialty cocktails are only $5.00 each and glasses of wine are half-off, which means that you can get fun and flirty over that I-really-shouldn’t third drink. In fact, the only thing not reduced during the Ivy’s Happier Hour is the great service.
