The Cheapskate Edition

Continued from page 6

The Velvet Dog

From 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, the Dawg offers a high-quali­ty cosmo or appletini for $3. (Really, it's just as well that there are only two martini options — the ones that taste as innocuous as melted ice cream go down a little too well.) Margaritas and glasses of house wine are also three bucks, and domestic beers and well drinks are $2. All appetizers are half-off, too. 400 East 31st Street, 816-753-9990

The Record Bar

What's most impressive about the Record Bar's happy hour, from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, is that Stolichnaya well drinks cost $3. All Stoli flavors are included, so bring on the suicide blueberry-raspberry-cranberry-vanilla cocktail. 1020 Westport Road, 816-753-5207.

Dave's Stagecoach Inn

A true and total dive, Dave's sells alcohol at dive prices available throughout the week (save Sunday, when the place is closed). Drafts of Budweiser ring in at $1.50 a draw, wells cost $3, Boulevard draws are $2.50 and ice-cold cans of Schlitz, Old Style and Hamms are $2. 316 Westport Road, 816-561-2492

Tower Tavern

After church on Sunday, the Tower Tavern satisfies that need for a post-service drink (or for penance in the bottom of a 12-ounce can) during Scumbag Sundays. Cans of Old Style are in abundance and cost a piddly $1.50 all the sacred day long. 401 East 31st Street, 816-931-9300.
