The Broke and Hungry Wednesday
Three discounted kitchens, one pint, under thirty dollars.
Built for the weekday you feel flat. Three happy hours strung together where the math works even if you never drink. Starts with Frita Batidos batido happy hour, picks up Grizzly Peak for the back half of theirs, ends on a Jolly Pumpkin sour flight. Heavy on food, light on ambition.

Frequently asked about this stack
How long does the The Broke and Hungry Wednesday actually take?
About 5 hours end to end, though every stop has a natural exit if you need to bail early. The route is walkable and designed so that even if you skip a stop, the rest of the stack still holds together.
Which days of the week does the The Broke and Hungry Wednesday work?
Tuesday through Friday. Every deal referenced has its own active window, and we picked days where all of them overlap. If the calendar doesn't line up, swap to one of the related stacks listed at the bottom of the page.
How much should I expect to spend on the The Broke and Hungry Wednesday?
Estimated savings alone are around $18 per person versus walk-in pricing, but actual spend depends on how many rounds you order at each stop. Our rule of thumb: one round and one shared plate per stop keeps the whole evening comfortably under $60 per person.
Are the deals on this page verified?
Yes. Every linked deal references a specific source URL and carries a last-verified date on its own page. We refresh the full deal dataset on a rolling monthly cadence and immediately after a reader flag.
Can I reserve ahead for any of these stops?
For happy hour bars, usually no. Happy hour pricing typically requires bar seating. For the sit-down meal stops (Sava's, Mani Osteria, Zingerman's Roadhouse), Resy or OpenTable are the move, especially on weekends.
