So your significant other dragged you to the mall, huh? Maybe they wanted to try new jeans, new shirts or, better yet, comparison shop at Best Buy. Whatever the reason, overenthusiastic salespeople and food court crowds are increasing your urge to drink. Fast. And while we usually don't recommend heavy drinking at the mall, sometimes there's just no other way. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse has a decent happy hour to take the edge off. From 3-7 p.m., BJ's offers $1 off drafts and cocktails, not to mention half-priced pizza. Go ahead, order that second drink. You're going to need it.
