All day happy hour
Ya-Ya’s Chophouse and Seafood (508 Keawe St.) is known for its extensive steak menu, but the trendy Kakaako restaurant offers a daily happy hour available at the bar or outside patio.
The Bar Bites menu features discounted pupu and drinks. Popular dishes include mini meat loaf and mash ($17.95), steak kebab ($19.95), lobster roll ($29.95), and soup and sandwich ($15.95). Customers can still order off the regular menu.

An early bird special
From 5 to 6 p.m. now through Oct. 31, Tango Contemporary Cafe (1288 Ala Moana Blvd.) is offering an early bird dinner special which features a three-course tasting menu for $35. For each course, choose one of the following: house salad or onion soup; braised beef with caramelized onion mash or grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and spinach; and bread pudding with vanilla sauce and fresh fruit or the ice cream selection of the evening.
