Default Happy hours in TV

My take is based strictly on domestic beers. Feel free to add comments concerning liquor, wine, etc...
My opinion on $$ value at different places is as follows:

Cody's: Good deal, the bar menu is a winner. It's bogo and they are pints with it coming out to just under $5 for 2 pints.

RJ Gators: One of the worst values because while it's bogo, the glasses are only 8 oz apiece and the cost is the same as Cody's. I did a comparison on buying pitchers instead the other day. We had 3 pitchers which came to $27 plus tax. Each pitcher held about 7 or 8 of their 8oz beers, so we spent around $30 for around 24 beers. Had we done the bogo, well, do the math yourself. Also, they make you take both drinks at once unless you are sitting at the bar.

Gator's Dockside: While they also have 8 oz glasses, they also offer a pint. The 8 oz is $1.25 (basically half of the price at RJ Gators) and the pint is $2.50 (they just raised the price from $2). This is more comparable to Cody's.

Arnold Palmer: I have no idea what their exact prices are but we went during happy hour and the tab was $10 for 3 beers and a Jack with a splash of water (very heavily poured). Just the Jack alone would be $10 at a lot of places. Downside, happy hour is only a few hours a day.

Beef O'Brady's: Good deal on the bogos, I don't know exact prices, but like most places, unless you are sitting at the bar you will be served both beers at once.

Margarita Republic: Do they even have a happy hour? Every time I've been there and ask if it's happy hour, they say no.


Please comment with other places that I haven't covered! I'd like to try some new places!
