A-Frame

Roy Choi’s longtime Westside staple recently underwent a Hawaiian revamp, and has emerged with a happy hour worthy of its new digs. Dubbed the Luau Hour, drinks like Kona old fashioneds and Big Island gimlets run $8, while wine is $6 and beers are $4. Don’t forget the $12 beer can chicken plate to eat, either; there’s a reason the popular dish is a holdover from the previous A-Frame iteration.
