I need to get out to Hotel San Jose! That literally had never crossed my mind for happy hour… and those glasses look like the perfect thing for a hot summer.

  Hotel San Jose is awesome, I go there often and love it. Their drinks are just done right and the atmosphere is just perfect. Normally it isn’t too packed.

Do some research. BS Saloon hasn’t done $1 Keystone in over a year.
