"The Balkan brand’s generous happy hour offers food starting at $5 and drinks from $6. From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, fill up on Balkan specialities like urnebes dip, Ambar fries, drunken mussels and more. Pair up dishes with a $7 glass of Moldovan wine or a cocktail like the bar’s Old Fashioned ($8), made with plum rakia and bourbon. Drinks are discounted all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Capitol Hill original is joined by a newer D.C. location in Shaw and a Clarendon, Virginia outpost." - Tierney Plumb
