Ketchup Premium Burger Bar Happy Hour. The Strip

This is a value play for groups and post-work drinkers who want real food alongside cheap rounds, not a date spot or a party scene. The energy matches a casual burger joint: TVs with sports, music at a reasonable level, friendly staff who leave you alone. Strip workers, hotel guests, and locals who know the deal fill the weekday afternoons. At Miracle Mile inside Planet Hollywood, it's an easy stop for late lunch or early dinner.

The draw is aggressive pricing. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 3 to 6pm, with 2-for-1 well drinks and 2-for-1 draft beer, which is close to dive-bar economics for the Strip. Order one, get two, so double up or split with someone and halve your tab. Spiked milkshakes round out the list, blended properly so the alcohol works through rather than sitting on top, and they're filling enough to double as dessert. Just pace yourself, because getting twice what you ordered sneaks up on people.

Pair a 2-for-1 round with a burger off the regular menu and you've got a solid meal for not much money. Arrive between 3 and 5pm for the best seating and service rhythm. Fridays get busier with weekend arrivals, but it never tips into chaos. Note the window is weekdays only, so a Saturday stop won't get you the deal.
