Thai One On
Level Up is one flight of stairs away from Thai Basil but has an energy all its own. The brightly colored furniture is offset by the alternating neon strip that wraps around the window seats overlooking J Street. The walls are adorned with a changing array of local art. I hear a DJ spins at night, but I've never been there that late to witness it myself.
I think I'm burying the lead here, but happy hour, they call it Mingle Hour, goes until 8:00! That's a lot of happy hours!! As noted in the happy hour quick list (http://sachappyhour.blogspot.com/2007/10/cheers.html), Level Up offers $2.25 & $3 beer, call $4.50, wine $5.50, signature cocktails $6.50 and $6 appetizers. You really have to have the lychee mojito. It's seriously out of this world. The appetizers, ranging from coconut and satay chicken to lettuce wraps and tempura vegetables are great for sharing. It's fun to have happy hour appetizers that vary from calamari, nachos and spinach dip. They also have a full menu available with favorites like Pad Thai, Korean short ribs and lamb chops. Another intriguing element... they start serving breakfast at midnight.
I mentioned the DJ later in the evening. Maybe that's when the crowd comes because during the handful of times I've been there, I've been one of the only people in the place. It may not be the place for a raucous after work party, however, if you're just in the mood to try something new, it's a good bet!
Level Up is located at 2431 J Street (http://www.leveluplounge.com/). It is closed on Mondays.

Económico!
I met Stacy for happy hour earlier this week and was so excited to see the extent of their $3 menu. In terms of drinks you can get $3 margies, mojitos. martinis and beer. We ordered two margaritas which were big and tangy. The $3 food menu looks great too, with offerings like quesadillas, empanadas, nachos and not-so-Mexican fare like garlic fries. When a few other friends joined us we ordered a few. It's a great deal and the food is tasty - especially the carnita plate - but the apps are small. They really are $3-sized. The quesadilla seemed particularly tiny. But for the price, you could order two!
The other nice thing is that happy hour extends till 7:00 so even Carolyn was there in time to take advantage of the deal! Apparently Azucar turns into a club on weekend nights, so come early if that's not your cup of tequila.
Azucar is at 1616 J Street.
