Happy hour buzz: $1 oysters at Bar10 in West Hollywood

The whole idea behind Bar10, a new cocktail bar in West Hollywood, is that there are 10 cocktails on the menu, made by one of the restaurant’s bartenders, or owner Daniel Cammarata. And they all cost $10.

This is true most of the time, unless we’re talking happy hour.

From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 4 pm. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, you can order one of the bar’s most popular drinks, the Swede, for $8. It’s a strong mix of Rekorder Lig pear cider and Hanson’s ginger vodka with a cayenne pepper rim.

Your lips will tingle while you sip the Swede and people watch on the patio. Or you can go inside and shoot some pool before ordering a round of $1 oysters. Just slurp in between shots.

There’s also $4 house red or white wine by the glass, $4 well drinks and $4 beers.

8933 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, (323) 332-6445, www.bar10weho.com.
