Daily Grill

The Daily Grill, located on Jamboree and Dupont in Irvine has a happy hour that is offered for 3 hours every day of the week. It lasts from 4 to 7pm, making it an excellent choice for a nice place to go for dinner.
Happy hour prices only pertain to those eating in the bar area, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to be 21 or over. Only those ordering alcohol in the bar area have to show ID. The appetizers range in price from $2.95 to $3.95. Popular choices among those that I dined with included the popcorn shrimp, fried calamari, spicy blue cheese fries, loaded mac and cheese and the spinach artichoke dip.
Everyone enjoyed most of the dishes, especially the calamari (which can be doubled for a dollar more). However, the spinach artichoke dip was not well received by those that ordered it. Therefore making it not a recommended appetizer to order.
The beers that are on special include Sam Adams and Miller Lite, served in pints. Each goes for $3.50. Everyone ordered the Sam Adams, since Miller is a much more common beer, available at many other places for better prices. The Sam Adams pints were enjoyed by all those that ordered them.
The Daily Grill has a relaxed atmosphere, with great deals on food appetizers and on the Sam Adams beer. Making it a great place to eat and drink with friends.

Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings located in Lake Forest, has a fun and relaxed atmosphere to it. However, they're happy hour deals are not the best to be found. There are your $3 tall glasses (about a pint and a half) during hh, however they are only of a select few domestic beers, such as Coors, Bud Light and Miller Light. The other beers such as Blue Moon, are discounted only by 75 cents. And food is 25% off when you order it in the bar area.
The service was very nice and efficient. However, due to the fact that only the most common and cheapest beer had any real discount, I would recommend passing on Buffalo's Happy Hour unless you are in the mood for a lot of wings.
