Eos
901 Cole Street (at Carl)
San Francisco, CA 94117
415-566-3063
I’d been meaning to go to Eos for a while, and a friend let me in on his little happy hour secret. Well, except it’s not really a secret to those in the Cole Valley neighborhood, but I digress.
Sundays - Thursdays, from 5:30pm - 7:00pm, Eos serves fresh oysters on the half shell for $1, and has $5 wine and sake specials.

Yes, Citysearch has given this place the $$$$ rating, so Grubgirl was resigned to get the most value out of this place, as she went there to meet up with a couple friends. You know how I feel about the whole small plates concept — I think it is a big rip off to the consumer. On the other hand, it is a shrewd move by business people, because…people ARE willing to pay those prices…so if the demand is there, why not keep supplying?

Boccadillos
710 Montgomery St. (a few doors down from the “it’s still in business?” Bubble Lounge)
SF, CA (North Beach)

The price range was a bit outta the usual Grubgirl realm, but a few of the gals wanted to try out this relatively new North Beach haunt, so I sucked it up.
The one tough thing about eating tapas and small plates outside of Spain is the piddly bang for buck factor. You so don’t wanna know how much “everyday” dishes would cost if you were in Madrid or Barcelona.

Ponzu
401 Taylor Street
(between Geary St & Ofarrell St)
San Francisco, CA 94102 (415) 775-9997
Ponzu, a hotel restaurant/bar in San Francisco’s theater district (Taylor / O’Farrell), just launched a new happy hour that takes place 7 days a week.
The deal that got my attention? $0.50 appetizers and $3 drinks. Raise an eyebrow? I sure did.
The $3 special was just for the debut — usual cocktail prices range from $3 - 5 for happy hour drinks that range from draft beer and house sake to fruity cocktails consisting of sake, soju, run, or plum wine.
