Josรฉ Andrรฉs calls his happy hour “Sangrรญa Hour” โ and at Jaleo inside the Cosmopolitan, that distinction actually means something. This is one of the few Strip restaurant happy hours where you’re eating tapas from a James Beard Award-winning chef’s kitchen at prices that don’t require a second mortgage.
The Jaleo Sangrรญa Hour runs SundayโThursday 5โ7 PM and FridayโSaturday 4:30โ7 PM, in the bar and lounge, with signature tapas, iconic sangrรญas, and wines and beer by the glass. There’s also a Reverse Sangrรญa Hour Monday 9โ11 PM.
Order This:
- Patatas Bravas โ $7 โ crispy potatoes, spicy tomato sauce, aioli. The benchmark Spanish tapa, done right.
- Croquetas de Pollo โ $7 โ traditional chicken fritters. The one item regulars order every single visit.
- Gazpacho Estilo Algeciras โ $4 โ The smartest $4 you’ll spend on the Strip.
- Bottle & Board โ $68 –a bottle of red, white, or sparkling wine paired with specialty Spanish cheeses and cured Ibรฉrico meats. The move for two people.
- Cocktails โ $13 | Wine โ $10
The Paella Grill is one of only three open-fire wood paella grills of its kind in the world, which explains why the room feels like theater as much as a restaurant. It feels like sitting at a street side cafรฉ in Madrid โ on the third floor of the Cosmopolitan. The Sangrรญa Hour is the entry point. Most people who go once end up back for dinner. ๐ฅ
