Best Happy Hour Burger Deals In Los Angeles

The secret is out. Hinoki & the Bird's Okonomiyaki burger isn't found on the Century City hotspot's dinner menu. This glorious creation is available during lunch but you're better off stopping by at happy hour (Tuesday to Friday from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm) when the burger is served exclusively at the bar and paired with a draft beer or glass of house wine for $20. This double patty marvel which features hot and sour pickled peppers, sharp cheddar tang, and a refined sweetness courtesy of tonkatsu sauce and a honey potato bun is well worth the price of admission.

This La Cienega offshoot of the late, great .ink serves a bacon cheeseburger. But, of course, being a Michael Voltaggio creation, it's unlike any bacon cheeseburger you've ever had. The bacon is a meaty slab of beef belly which provides an intoxicating campfire smokiness. The cheese is whipped, the pickles are fermented and the patty is a mouthwatering cylinder of dry-aged Holstein beef. While the burger is $21 on the dinner menu, if you order it at the bar before 7 pm, the price drops a buck and includes a glass of any beer on draft.

Michelin-starred chef Josiah Citrin offers not one, but two happy hours at his ode to the fine art of grilling. Both the early Evening Glass Off and the late night Last Bites menus offer an impressive selection of food and drink options, but the must order is definitely the $9 burger. The centerpiece is a grilled five-ounce patty (a blend of prime rib, chuck and shoulder) which is accompanied by lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, and cheese. The classic combo is taken to new heights with Citrin's very special sauce, an unconventional blend of mayo, wasabi, freshly grated ginger, ketchup, honey, Worcestershire, and champagne vinegar.

Husband and wife duo Karen and Hatfield churn out simple yet masterful wood-fired creations at their expansive mid-city restaurant. Not surprisingly, they know how to put together a pretty fantastic burger, which is available for a pretty fantastic price during happy hour. The O + P Burger includes a juicy oak-grilled patty, cheddar, apple onion jam, lettuce, and thousand island dressing, plus a side of crispy beer-battered onion rings. And if you order it at the bar or the restaurant's communal tables from 6 pm to 7 pm Tuesday to Friday, 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm Sunday, and all day Monday, it only costs a Hamilton.
