There’s only really one cure for Mondays, and that’s happy hour all day at your favorite bar.

That means our Original Balboa Burger is $8 till close, our draft beers, wines and wells are $6, and select shots are $5.

We can’t fix everything wrong with Mondays, but we can try.

It’s not easy making your dreams come true, but someone has to do it.

GUESS WHAT?!
This classy lady holding this beautiful Centennial Burger is not from the past, or from a Great Gatsby party that you forgot to dress up for, She’s from the future (dressed up just because she feels like it) and she’s at The Balboa Bar and Grill enjoying this magnificent burger past midnight!

That’s right we’re extending the Bankers Hill Balboa Bar and Grill hours to 1am!! Starting February 16th! Only on Friday and Saturday nights (possibly more in the future if y’all dig it)! So when that late night hunger hits and you want a good drink paired with the bombest burger around, don’t forget, The Balboa is open late on the weekends.

Tag three friends in the comments and get a free drink when you roll up late night with us! Just show the bartender you did so and they’ll hook you up 🍻 Offer only applies Friday and Saturday nights 10pm to close!
