Yama Sushi

Any happy hour that involves $1 sushi is worth considering, but the deal at this cozy, izakaya-style Japanese spot is extraordinary because the sushi is actually good. Not only that, Yama Sushi's happy hour action doesn't even get started until 6 p.m. and it goes straight though to 2 a.m. when it closes. The only drawback is that the sushi deal is only offered on Tuesdays. But that doesn't mean there aren't more specials to behold. There's $2 sake, domestic beer and house wine on offer Wednesdays, and $3 sushi rolls and appetizers (think: shrimp tempura, kara-age and grilled mackerel) up for grabs on Thursdays. And on Fridays and Saturdays, hot sake is $2 and Asahi drafts are $3. Should you wish to venture beyond sushi, the rest of the menu features everything from noodle and rice dishes to grilled specialties like tataki and yakitori.
