Tilted Kilt Happy Hour. The Strip

You will find Tilted Kilt at the LINQ Promenade, 3545 S Las Vegas Blvd, easy to reach on foot if you are already walking the action. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 2 to 6pm, with a late-night window most nights from 10pm to midnight. There is no Saturday afternoon deal, so plan around that.

The deal is clean: $2 off all beer, house wine, and well cocktails, with domestic beers around $5 and wells about $6. It applies broadly, which gives you room to bounce between a domestic draft and a well drink without doing math. There are food specials around $11 if you want something to go with the drinks, but the rest of the menu runs full price, so plan your order around the discounted items.

This is a sports bar with a Celtic theme stapled on. TVs cover every wall, the sound is usually up, and the energy climbs with whatever match is playing. It suits groups watching football, friends killing a weekday afternoon, and anyone who wants screens and cheaper rounds over a quiet cocktail.

Get there early in the window if a big game is on the schedule, because the place fills with sports crowds and the bar backs up fast. Two drinks and the food special will run you a fair tab for the Strip without feeling steep.
