So I just started to use playfoursquare.com this evening and it led me to Bartini which had a sign up outside that said "Happy Hour: Tuesdays-Friday 4-8 PM" I figured I'd have a look. The place is definitely a little run down and the ambiance is totally bordello/titty bar/lounge BUT: I had two Bombay Sapphire Martinis for TEN DOLLARS. There are other places that have happy hours in the neighborhood, but TRY to get them to pour top shelf. The bartender is a congenial fellow named Izzy. Tell him that "That chinese guy, Roger" sent you. Won't get you anything better than the usual GREAT DEAL, but maybe he'll buy me a drink or two. Oh and remember: Tip on the number of drinks your server has SERVED you, not on the hugely discounted tab that you've received. :)
