Inexpensive Happy Hours Downtown

I've come across a plethora of inexpensive happy hours at places I wouldn't have expected recently.  I like booze and don't like to pay for it, and I don't feel like I'm alone, so I thought I'd share:

Oceanaire: Most of Oceanaire's entrees run into the $30s, so it's not a place that many of us have on our regular rotation, however they do have an excellent happy hour.  3$ draft beer, 4$ house wines, and 5$ cocktails make the booze affordable.  Throw in bar snacks for between $5-$8, including a number of seafood tastes, and this is a pretty good deal.

Bourbon Steak Lounge: In the 4 Seasons in Georgetown, most cocktails at BSL go for $15 - hardly a daily happy hour.  But until THIS WEDNESDAY, August 31st, you can get a hot dog and a pint of DC Brau for just $7.  It's off menu, so just ask your server/bartender

J&G Wine Bar: I wrote about this last week, but the bites and tastes at J&G wine bar gets you three tastes of wine and there snacks (paired) for just $20 - incidentally the same price it will cost you to valet your car for this happy hour at the W, so take the metro or walk.

Kellari Taverna: Discounted drinks at the bar ($3-5$) is nice, but even better is the giant block of parmesan cheese with toast that you can slice of chunks from to snack on for no charge, in addition to the giant bowl of olives-  also free.  Have a few cocktails, munch on some snacks, and you have yourself a meal.
