10 great power happy hours

Sapporo

At upscale Japanese restaurant/bar Sapporo, nightlife and being seen are as important as the saki bombers. In addition to sushi and teppanyaki grilled entrees, look for creative dishes such as grilled Australian lamb loin chops with Thai basil curry coconut glaze. Happy hour (4-7 p.m.) is jammed, especially on Fridays. There's also a reverse happy hour from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. that includes sushi specials.
