Rolling with the economic punches and getting a little less epic, pricewise, Epic Roasthouse (369 Embarcadero at Folsom) has launched a new Holy Cow! happy hour at its upstairs Quiver Bar, featuring a bar menu packed with goodies costing $3 to $5 and a slew of $5 specialty cocktails. Highlights include the Farewell to Arms (Oronoco rum, grapefruit, vanilla, and lime) and the Sazerac (Old Overholt rye, Herbsaint, Peychaud's bitters, and a sugar cube), $7 martinis made with Russian Standard vodka, $5 wines by the glass, and a selection of $2 bottled beers. On the edible front, check out the soft homemade pretzels with smoked sea salt, served with grain mustard sauce ($3); and slow confit of chicken drummettes with molasses and blood orange barbecue sauce and celery root slaw ($5). The Holy Cow! happy hour is in effect Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. For info, call 369-9955.
