Yay! Yesterday, 2/2/2011 Johno, and I celebrated his 24th birthday with a bit of a happy hour at Houlihans! Not only were we celebrating John's big day, but also groundhog day, Shakira's bday and most importantly, National tater tot day ha! (If you know me, you know I can be a bit silly/sarcastic at times..so hang in there) Anyway we decided it was only appropriate to go big or go home! So we obviously started with pitchers of long islands, for each of us! (and the fact that they were on happy hr special for $4.50 wednesdays..hey good deal right?!) We ultimately choose Houlihan's because they sent out an awesome coupon for 50% off the entire meal after 4pm..mostly as a promo after the huge blizzard/snow storm of the century/ 'snowpocalypse'(the 'cool' term). Anywho, we were pretty pumped to get a good deal out of it! (andddd apparently so was the rest of the entire KC area population!) We arrived right in the nick of time..shortly after 4:15. I would definitely recommend arriving early cause just about ten minutes after being seated, the restaurant entrance started looking more and more like the 'main bar' of the Hawk in Lawrence...seriously, shoulder-to-shoulder, one-in-one-out! Those Houlihanians sure learned their lesson..you send out one 50% promo email and it's like one of those chain-letters and little do ya know...we could be experiencing ten tornados, a snow storm, flooding and world war III..but every dang person in KC will still be smashed together like sardines inside Town Center Houlihans!
Overall, our experience was a success and getting there early was key! The long islands, although ginormous, were a bit on the sweeter side...but after gulping them down like kolade after soccer practice, we were def feeling a nice buzz! The food is always tasty as well..great small plates and appetizers! And our personal all time fav..chicken finger platter (yet without a doubt we order that at almost every restaurant we visit..gotta love those tenders!) I definitely recommend Houlihan's if you want good food with your drinks and want to stick to the suburbs (and see children under the age of 10 texting on their iphones at the table next to you ha)...it truly made for a fun-relaxed-yummy happy hour!
All in all, we had a fun afternoon and evening from Houlihan's happy hour and joking around to having a dance party in car-ride home to reminiscing of our college shenanigans! Happy Birthday JohnoFrancie!! Had an awesome time helping you celebrate! :)
