Cloak and Petal happy hour tips
Time it right—Monday through Friday only: happy hour runs 4:00pm–6:00pm on weekdays (excluding holidays), and it’s offered throughout the entire restaurant, not just the bar.
Garlic edamame is the must-order snack: this garlicky goodness is so delicious, some people even order seconds to take home.
Rolls during happy hour are a steal: classic rolls run $6–$8 and specialty rolls $12–$14, so you can mix and match several without breaking the bank.
Cocktails and sake shine at $13 or less: signature drinks, sake pours, house wines, and even draft beer are all discounted, with $7 Sapporo and $8 sake being fan favorites.
Go early in the week for the best vibe: Monday–Wednesday are lively but not overwhelming, while weekends can feel packed and noisy.
Don't skip the bao buns or ribs: regulars rave about the sticky fingaz ribs and fluffy bao buns as the best small plates to share with drinks.

Cloak and Petal Happy Hourista review
VANESSA A.
CONTRIBUTOR
Happy hour at Cloak and Petal is like stepping into a Tokyo daydream. Cherry blossom trees stretch over the bar, walls are splashed with street art, and the playlist bounces between hip hop and house. Drinks come first. At $13, cocktails aren’t dirt cheap, but they’re strong and clever. The specialty list rotates between spritzy, sake-spiked numbers and smoky riffs, while Sapporo and sake keep things classic. A round of hot sake is especially good if you’re posted at the bar since it pairs surprisingly well with almost everything. When it comes to food, the karaage green beans are a cult favorite: crispy, jalapeño-dusted, and addictive enough to order seconds. Sticky Fingaz Ribs hit with a sweet-spicy gochujang glaze, while the Bao Buns stack chashu pork and hoisin into a fluffy, two-bite indulgence. Sushi is where you really win, with Saucy Boi and Cesar Chavez rolls that are loaded, playful, and far more fun than your standard spicy tuna.
Pro tip: grab a seat early on weekdays because the 4:00pm-6:00pm window fills fast. And don’t skip the garlic edamame. It’s messy, garlicky, and completely worth it. Cloak and Petal nails the balance of vibe and value, making happy hour here feel like a weeknight party you’ll actually remember.
