Half off every cocktail on the menu, at the restaurant that replaced a James Beard chef’s place โ that’s the kind of happy hour deal that makes Arts District regulars pay attention. KJ’s took over the old Pepper Club space inside The English Hotel this year, and the social hour is one of the better reasons to notice the change.
Order This:
Chef’s choice oysters are the item worth ordering twice โ a little playful, and built for a half-price cocktail. Add the fried chicken sliders for something heartier, or a Caesar salad if you’re keeping it light. Every beer and every cocktail on the menu runs half off during happy hour, no fine print, no exceptions list.
The Arts District has watched restaurants shuffle in and out of this exact address before, and a new operator taking over a high-profile space either commits or gets swallowed by the neighborhood’s expectations. KJ’s leaned in by keeping the format locals already liked โ real food, real drink prices, no gimmick โ while making the deal simpler: all beer andย all cocktails half off, not just a curated list. That’s the kind of happy hour that earns repeat visits instead of one-time curiosity. Worth working into a weekday routine.
Happy hour runs daily from 4 to 7 PM,ย No reservation required for the bar.
