New happy hour alert. Kalimotxo — a Spanish restaurant and cocktail bar by Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group — is serving up a fresh slate of daily specials.
Spoiler: We’re big fans. Here’s why it’s worth a stop.
💸 The price is right
Small plates run from $3 to $21. Our ideal meal? Order the Patatas Bravas for $5, the green salad for $6, and the Kali Burger for $10.
⏰ Prime hours
Happy hour runs daily from 3 to 5 p.m. and all day on Sundays.
🍹 Satisfying sips
Grab a Spanish classic like the namesake Kalimotxo for $8, our favorite cocktail (the Sherry Margarita) for $10, or a half-priced bottle of wine for the table.
