CitySearch Tips

What To Drink

Festive happy hours (Mon-Fri, 5pm-7pm) are inspired by the decade that brought us alpha-chick Joan Collins and the late Zen master Mr. Miagi--now two of Alfa's signature drinks.

When To Go

The kitchen cranks out a full menu until 1am.

The Extras

Go upstairs for a post-meal fun at Alfa's Walnut Room--a long-time hipster watering hole with amazing cocktails, smart DJs, a cozy dance floor and the occasional record-release party.

Save Money

Daily happy hours feature extensive cocktail menus with drinks named after funny icons from the 1970's and '80s.

What to Drink

The mango martini -- one of the city's first -- is still the tastiest in town.

Where to Sit

While the restaurant is one long room, patrons can sit in one of three areas: the bar, a table or on a sofa in back.

Know Before You Go

Call ahead to reserve a plush couch in the lounge area for your party. Dining or just drinking? Both are acceptable.
