Fred’s Place
2534 Old Middlefield Way, Mountain View | 650.940.9838 | fredsplace.bar
The motto here is “every hour is happy hour” and the bartender told us “we have low prices, like Walmart.” The dim, cozy atmosphere, though, is anything but a well-lit box store. Drinks flow from noon to 2am weekdays and from 10am on weekends. Well drinks are $8; call drinks, like a shot of Jameson or Jack Daniel’s, are $9.
Rootstock Wine Bar
331 Castro St., Mountain View | 650.963.9916 | rootstockwinebar.com
The Mountain View location offers happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 5pm with specials on wines by the glass, beer and small bites. Mondays feature half-price bottles all day.
