Two weeks ago Monday, my sister was having a rough day at work, so I took her for drinks. I wanted to take her someplace that serves fruity, girly drinks with umbrellas and pineapples and shit, and the only place I could think that had that sort of thing was Bennigans. (We're dreadfully low on Tiki bars in the inner loop of Houston.) Bonus: we were very unlikely to run into anyone we knew.

We showed up at around 8:50 and headed straight to the bar. The bartender took our Mango-Strawberry daiquiari orders, and informed us that happy hour started in ten minutes. Turns out (at that particular Bennigans, I cannot vouch for any others) that Happy Hour is every day from 4-7 and from 9-11. $2 cosmopolitans, margaritas on the rocks, long island iced teas, and something else I can't remember. Also some beer was $2. $3 bar food.

The place started filling up around 9:05, and by the time we rolled out of there, having had many $2 cosmos, the place was bumping.

Sounds like a good time. I always manage to miss happy hour by 10 minutes. You were very lucky.
