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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-schmear), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-dip)-viral "girl dinner"—a casual, snack-style meal of mix-and-match finger foods—with the "New [York](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-gin-bottle) 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.
