hora feliz one-is-two principle means you can drink quite a bit without sticker shock when you get la cuenta. You're more likely to run out of capacity before pesos. There's a two-step strategy, and may require some field research, if you know what I mean:
1) Find the bars that serve the drinks the right way, i.e. with a proper amount of alcohol in them (not like in gringoland).
2) Remember -- or better yet, write down -- when their happy hours are so you can plan your route.
I don't know the Marina area well enough to make recommendations. But if you're in El Centro mid-afternoon you might want to try the mojitos at La Bodeguita (toward the north end of the Malecon). For us, we might start out there, then take a bus back to our place (Los Tules in the Hotel Zone) for margaritas by the pool until happy hour expires there then we walk up the beach to another hotel (Suntierra) where happy hour goes until 7. Actually, we might only do two out of three of these stops, but you get the idea.Statistics:Posted by oneistwo — Wed Aug 22, 2007 8:57 pm
