You need a walk through a faux freezer door to find this happy hour, and once you’re through it, the ice cream shop upfront is just the cover story โ CC Speakeasy is a full cocktail parlor hiding behind it in the Arts District.

The Classic Martini runs $16, and the Dirty Dancing also $16. Chicken & Waffles rounds it out at $16, the rare happy hour item that leans dessert-adjacent instead of standard bar food.
Chef Jose Gutierrez brings over 20 years of culinary experience to a menu that could’ve easily coasted on the gimmick alone. It doesn’t. Deep green walls, midcentury furniture, and a mural nodding to Salma Hayek’s scene in From Dusk Till Dawn set a mood most bars can’t fake, and the drinks back it up โ traditional classics alongside inventive originals. This is the kind of happy hour that rewards knowing the secret, in a neighborhood that’s built its whole identity on discovery over foot traffic.
Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday, 5 to 7 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday, 3 to 7 p.m. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, though walk-ins are welcome too.
