La-La Land (Los Angeles)
Los Angelanos looking for the ultimate after-work party can head to one of two Cabo Cantina locations, according to Ryan Silver of Silver Lion Productions. The draw? Cheap drinks, good eats and a crowd that really knows how to loosen their proverbial ties once they leave the office! “[It’s a] great place!” claims Silver. “Great happy hours and prices!” All drinks are 2 for 1, including favorites like watermelon margaritas, mojitos and the Cabopolitan, a variation of the Cosmo made with tequila, cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. Plus munchies like hot corn chips and salsa and killer black bean and cheese egg rolls are as tasty as the drinks. Get here early – the party goes from 4pm – 8pm and tends to get crowded quick.
