Update:
Oyamel has closed in Crystal City, and will reopen at 401 7th Street, NW in early 2007!

This fifth installment in the series will continue to focus on happy hour and daily food specials. The listed prices are after discount, but before adding tax and tip.

In the first installment of this series, I mentioned Tuesday nights at Ragtime’s Tuesday Night Raw Bar. It turns out that they also have a half price burger ($3.75 + fixings) night on Sundays from 6pm until closing. I stopped by last night and had a half a pound of shrimp ($6), and a drink, after already having eaten dinner. Weekdays from 4-8 pm, they have $1.50 Miller Light drafts, $2.50 rail drinks, and $2 micro brew of the month.

Faccia Luna in Clarendon offers a Monday evening pizza special in the Arlington location. 2 people share 2 small house salads or one appetizer and one twelve inch pizza with up to two toppings for $22.22, including two glasses of house wine or two non-alcoholic drinks. Faccia Luna also has a lunch special Monday through Friday of two slices of pizze with a salad and small soda for $5.75.

Molly Malone’s in Clarendon features half price ($4) burgers Mondays 4-10 pm Tuesdays 4-10pm is features half price ($5) Shepherd’s pie. Wednesdays 4-10pm is half price burgers ($4), and pub quiz night. Thursdays and Fridays 4-10 pm feature half price appetizers ($4-6.50), with Fridays including live music. Sundays feature half price ($4) Buffalo wings.

Cowboy Café features half price ($4) burgers all day on Tuesdays and 25 cent wings, $2.50 Miller High Life, and $3 Yuengling drafts Wednesday all day. Cowboy Café has a different blue plate special daily (all day) for $8.99. Their happy hour is 4-7 pm, and features $2 domestic bottles of beer, and $2.75 rail drinks.

Oyamel in Crystal City has a Taco Night on Tuesdays, during which fish or pork (soft) tacos are $1.50. Also included are a few other $1.50 items, including a Cesar salad with paper (thin) croutons. The webpage states that the tacos are $3.50 for two on taco night, but I was told on the phone that they are $1.50 each. Oyamel has a happy hour Tuesday through Friday 4-7 pm, during which drafts are $3, and rail drinks and margaritas are $4.
