With the economy taking its toll on our drinking dollars, a little penny pinching can go a long way at the bars. That’s why on a blogger’s salary the late night happy hour is probably the best thing next to espresso vodka.

I only just discovered that this phenomenon actually existed. Shame on me. On a semi recent trip down to Orlando, Florida my hotel was conveniently located next to a ‘Friday’s’, where we ended up as a last stop before bed. When we realized we had stumbled upon half priced drinks and half priced appetizers our liver was rejuvenated and we drank into the night.

Since then, coming across a bar with a late night happy hour has been a like finding extra gold flakes in a bottle of Goldschlager at the end of a rainbow.
