Its been 4 years since I've been back at Sawa because I didn't understand their concept on my first visit. It's still confusing as of today. Is it Mediterranean? Is it Asian? Is it a tapas lounge? Or a Hookah lounge? One thing is for sure. Their happy hour is probably the best deal in Merrick Park.

Craft cocktails including Old Fashioned are only around $7. Wells are just $5. Sweet! Bar bites start at $5 and goes up to $11 for the platinum tapas and sushi rolls. And trust, the happy hour food offerings here are plenty and its until 8pm if you order from the bar. I've tried the steamed dumplings, crispy brussel sprouts and Yakitoris and they were decent. (See my pics)

Another good thing about this place is the service. The bartenders & servers are always nice and they seem to know all the loyal patrons by their names.

I've been back 3 times for happy hour because it really changed my 1st perception during my first visit 4 years ago. I'll be back again and again until I try everything on the happy hour menu..lol :)
