Boston's best "Happy Hour" food specials

• Here's where we recommend going.

🥘 Tasca's $5 tapas

Tapas tend to add up fast, but Tasca's special slashes some plates' prices by half.

• $5 tapas are available 4-6pm Monday through Wednesday. Try the mushroom croquetas.

🦪 Dollar oyster deals

It wouldn't be Boston without $1 oysters. While they're less common these days, you can still find these specials in various neighborhoods.

• 4pm Mondays at The Berkeley Hotel (Back Bay)
• 4-10pm Mondays at The Independent (Union Square)
• 4pm on Tuesdays until they sell out at Gray's Hall (Southie).

🍔 Bred Gourmet

Bred's social hour menu offers small plates for $3.99 from 3-6pm on weekdays.

• The food is rich and filling despite the small portions.
• Try the fried chicken sliders, fries and beignets (glazed and powdered).

🌮 Painted Burro

On Mucho Mondays, you get an unlimited supply of appetizers and other menu items for $29 (a decent deal by Boston standards).

Yes, but: Make sure to read the fine print.

• The special applies to items under the appetizers, salads, tacos, and enchiladas sections.
• Order an entree, side, dessert or drink, and you'll get charged full price for that.
