In the world of part-time jobs and student loans, students need all the price breaks they can get.

Bank account relief can be found during the magical time known as “happy hour.” Translation: beer and food for a fraction of the original price.

Brew it Up is located in an impressive building on the corner of 14th and H Streets downtown. This brewery is a unique place where good beer and cheap prices come together. Happy hour at Brew It Up runs Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. And for the late night crowd, happy hour is also available Thursday through Saturday from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Happy hour boasts 20-ounce beers to quench students’ thirst for only $3. Over 20 different beer selections are offered. An appetizer buffet is available with the purchase of two beers. “All you can eat” is music to a starving student’s ears. Heidi Martin, 21, says this is quickly becoming her favorite after school spot.

“Where else can you get two beers and a ton of food for $6?” Martin said.

Pyramid Alehouse also caters to broke beer lovers. Located downtown on 10th and K Streets, Pyramid’s happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Their happy hour special is a brewer’s rack which consists of five eight-ounce beers of your choice, so bring a designated driver.

To accompany the beer, Pyramid offers an array of different appetizers off their menu like chili cheese fries, ribs and nachos for under $5.

Tyler Watts, a Sacramento State senior and employee at Pyramid, says that the restaurant’s happy hour is growing in popularity.

“You definitely get more for your money than at other places, and the quality of beer and food is really good here,” Watts said.

Tokyo Fro’s, located near school on Fair Oaks Boulevard offers a great happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. California rolls and tempura prawns are the order of the day when happy hour includes 50 percent off appetizers, sushi and draft beer.

Also look for Hanger 17, opening soon at 17 th and S Streets downtown. This restaurant, named after its architectural similarities to an airplane hanger, will house the first five-hour happy hour in Sacramento. The happy hour will start at 2 p.m. and end at 7 p.m., and will include food and drink specials. The menu will combine Mediterranean, Californian and Asian style cooking. Hanger 17 is slated to open in about two weeks.
