Firefly Tapas Kitchen + Bar Happy Hour. Off-Strip

Build a spread of $7-9 tapas and a $9 glass of house-made sangria. That's the play at Firefly. Tapas are meant to be shared and stacked, and the happy hour price lets you cover half a dozen plates for a table without the check climbing the way a single entree would. The sangria, made in house, beats the premixed sugar bombs most places pour.

Firefly has run Spanish small plates in Vegas for years across several locations. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4 to 6pm. The drink list at those prices includes $7 bottled beer, $8 wine, $9 sangria, $9 well drinks, and $10.50 select cocktails, so a mixed table can drink however it wants without anyone overpaying.

Order a few classics: patatas bravas, bacon-wrapped dates, garlic shrimp. The fun is in covering ground, and at these prices you can. The room runs warm and lively, good for a date, a small group catching up, or professionals unwinding after work. It stays social without getting so loud you have to shout.

Parking is in the shopping-center lot, so arrival is easy. Come earlier in the window if you want a quieter table before the after-work crowd builds. The pricing makes it simple to keep ordering plates as you go, which is exactly how tapas are supposed to work.
