The new Oblix Happy Hour Menu is available from 4PM to 7PM and treats drinkers to a selection of martinis served with small bites. For $20 USD, guests can make a selection from the martini menu and enjoy unlimited seasoned, herb-salted fries and condiments. On the menu, there are classic options like a Dirty Martini, as well as other flavorful choices like a Blueberry Martini, or an Apple & Cinnamon Martini.
This new Happy Hour menu at Oblix combines elements of the TikTok-viral "girl dinner"—a casual, snack-style meal of mix-and-match finger foods—with the "New York Happy Meal," which sees bars and restaurants around the world pairing martinis with fries.
Additionally, Oblix offers other high-low pairings like fried chicken and Champagne for $30, or fried chicken and caviar for $48.
