Four happy hour pages in this county were read off the venues’ own sites tonight. One of them runs a kitchen special until 12:30 on a Tuesday, which is to say tonight.

That one is Barley Republic, over on 48 Spanish Street.

Half-price chicken tenders from 8. Three dollar shots, four dollar cocktails.

Twelve thirty is the number to plan a Tuesday around.

The pub calls the whole thing Tenders and Tully Tuesday.

The page puts it this way: “Every Tuesday evening from 8 to 12:30, come to Barley for half-price chicken tenders, $3 shots of Tullamore D.E.W. and $4 Tullamore D.E.W. cocktails!” No other page read tonight puts food out that late on a weeknight.

That is the useful part of the night.

The drink prices are firm. The food price is not.

The tenders are half.

Half of what, the page will not say.

No base price for them is on it. Not once.

Not anywhere.

A discount off a figure you only learn at the table is still a discount. It just is not a number you can plan an evening around.

Twelve dollars is the rule on this desk. Three shots clear it.

A plate probably does too.

The weekday window there is flat five

Barley runs a second thing Monday to Friday, from 4 until 6, and everything in it is five dollars. “$5 smash burgers and bone-in wings,” the page says, along with “$5 select draft beers, well cocktails, house wines and house-made sangria.”

It is the cleanest number in town.

Five and five is ten.

Two of you for twenty dollars.

That is before tax.

A flat price means you know what you are spending before you walk in the door. Nothing on that line sends you back to a menu to check what a thing costs.

The Conch House does not print the number

The lounge on Comares Avenue gives its own window as Monday to Friday, 4 to 7 p.m. The offer printed under it is “$2 off all beer, mixed drinks and house wines.”

The number is not on the page.

Two off what.

Off a number they keep to themselves.

No beer price.

No cocktail price. No wine price.

It does print this, though: “Voted best happy hour in St. Augustine by the St. Augustine Record.” The vote made the page and the prices did not, which leaves a reader with a plaque and no figure.

A Friday window has live music.

Ring ahead. Or find out at the bar.

A menu with no hour on it

The Chophouse at Nocatee, out at 330 Pine Lake Drive in Ponte Vedra, publishes a page headed Happy Hour. Six plates sit on that page and every single one of them is priced at thirteen dollars.

Here is the whole list of them.

Truffle meatballs. Mini beef buns.

Mini chicken buns. Lobster egg rolls.

BBQ beef focaccia bites.

Salmon poke. That is the entire food menu.

Thirteen is a dollar past the rule.

Every one of the six. Only the beer comes in under it.

Any domestic, import or craft beer is five, which is what a draft costs at Barley. The cocktails carry no price at all, only a note saying other liquors are a quarter off.

The wine list names five and prices none.

The Prisoner, cabernet. A to Z, pinot noir.

A to Z, chardonnay. Barone Fini, pinot grigio.

Avissi, prosecco.

What that page does not carry anywhere on it is a day or a start time. Not in the text, and not in the structured data sitting underneath the text.

Their doors open at 4 and shut again at 9.

Sunday is 4 to 8.

The hour is somewhere inside that.

Only the restaurant knows where.

The fourth page belongs to Kingfish Grill and it has not answered at all since Sept. 25. The county’s visitor bureau tags 49 rooms as happy hour rooms, and 29 of them publish no window at all.

That is the real state of it.

The order

Tuesday after 8, at Barley: two shots of Tullamore at three dollars each comes to six dollars. The tenders are whatever half of their unprinted number turns out to be.

Before 6 on any weekday, same room, a smash burger and a draft is ten dollars a head. Twenty for two, and that is still before tax.

All of this comes off the menus.

Nobody here ate any of it.

If the pub is full the Conch House lounge is two dollars off until 7 o’clock.
