Can't afford to to head to the South Pacific? Head to Drift! It's certainly not as pricey and you don't have to hop on a plane.
Downtown Scottsdale's Polynesian restaurant & bar is a hot spot for happy hour -- they offer a discounted menu on appetizers and selected cocktails. You'll undoubtebly get lost in the tropical atmosphere with the fiery torches and giant Tiki God statue. The drinks have fun names like the Evil Bastard, the Big Chief and the Day Tripper and our served in funky glasses. The food is also tasty.
There's more of a club scene here on weekend nights with pulsating beats so if that's not your bag, stick to the happy hour. Check out driftlounge.com for more info on the bar.
