The Employment Chronicles Chapter 5: Latin Concepts Offers Great Cheap Happy Hours!

Greetings,

If you live in the D.C. area you may have already been to one of these restaurants. I'm a huge fan of this group of restaurants because they offer great happy hour specials, and a different Latin style in each (even if they don't serve Latin food!) You can check out all these restaurants at http://www.latinconcepts.com/

Mata: Mate is decadent, lush and entirely unexpected in historic Georgetown. All red décor, very luxe Panton spiral lamps, red Luna chairs, a sleek aluminum bar and a Latin inspired sushi menu are brought together to create a sophisticated and seductive atmosphere for Washingtonians.

Special Note: Happy hour includes $6 cocktails. My personal favorite is the Pomegranate Margarita.

Gazuza: Gazuza is Dupont Circle's favored lounge destination, with sleek modern decor, all weather patio, and deep lounge funk music.

Special Note: Happy hour includes $1 Nigiri and 1/2 price rolls if you are a sushi fan!

Chi Cha: Relaxed and laid back, Chi Cha Lounge is named after the traditional Latin American drink from the Andes known as “chicha”, a concoction of corn soaked in pineapple juice, cinnamon, cloves, cane sugar and the house secret ingredient. Chi Cha offers a menu of "Modern Andean Cuisine", deliciously comfortable couches and chairs jammed together so informally you often become part of someone else's conversation.

Special Note: Happy hour here is a bit later (5pm-8pm) and includes 1/2 price hookah.

Guarapo: A sleek lounge with international flair, hookah pipes and the only place in town that offers Guarapo cocktails, a sugar cane syrup mixed deliciously with vodka and lime juice. Andean-flavored tapas menú marinated mushrooms, chicken empanadas, grilled shrimp and a variety of ceviche styles. Cutting-edge DJs and live bands.

Special Note: Happy hour includes $5 Arepas, grilled stuffed corn cakes served with iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo, and fried plantains.

Nena: Nena is the upstairs lounge of Guarapo and is regularly open on Friday and Saturday nights at 9pm.

If you would like to book a private event for 50-200 people Nena is the perfect space. Email sevem@latinconcepts.com to inquire about availability.

Enjoy my friends!
