Plum Bistro's Happy Hour Draws on Global Influences

The Hours: Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m.

The Deal: A couple signature drinks go for $5, including the super-sweet Sweet Tea White Russian. Made with soy milk, the drink comes topped with a cane-sugar rim, so you know they mean business.

A selection of Plum's burgers are miniaturized for happy hour and sold for $2 a pop. Like the rest of the menu, these tiny, hearty bites are inspired by numerous cuisines. The $4 fries can be prepared almost 35 ways, and there are definitely enough per plate to share.

The small plates, ranging from nachos ($4) to eggplant parmesan ($6), will fill you up as long as you order a plate of those fries (there are enough choices to make the fries go with anything on the menu).

The Digs: Plum's decor is as worldly as its menu. Simple Asian-inspired centerpieces include a single flower, while Spanish music floats through the air. The art installment hanging when I visited melded modern technologies into Native American totems. Although nothing in the room really matches, Plum pulls it together seamlessly with its casual attitude.

The Verdict: Happy hour at Plum is not extensive, but it is most definitely solid. The fare is significantly lighter than at most other happy hours--even the fries are more amicable in the stomach. And I like the eclectic variety of their menu and atmosphere.
