In this week's print edition, we're rolling out the Riverfront Times' comprehensive list of the best happy hours in St. Louis. (And no, this isn't only being done as a public service to you, dear reader -- we're also promoting the very cool free smart-phone app that includes our fascinating finds.)

In conjunction with the soon-to-be-unveiled print feature, we've chosen one truly terrific happy hour for each day of the week. So be sure to stop back at Daily RFT as the week continues; we've got six more happy hours to describe in glorious, saliva-inducing detail.

Monday Happy Hour of the Day: Herbie's Vintage 72

405 North Euclid Avenue; 314-769-9595

The best day to drink at Herbie's Vintage 72? Today!

Happy Hour at this swank Central West End restaurant runs every week day from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., with half-price appetizers, $2 Bud Light, Budweiser and Budweiser Select bottles, $2.50 draft beers, $3 Guinness pints and well drinks and $3.50 microbrews. Not bad!

But if you're one of those drinkers who knows that liquor is quicker, you'll plan to pop by on Monday, when even the name-brand cocktails get marked down -- they're just $5. It's a perfect opportunity to belly up to a bar that you ought to be drinking at anyway.
