As of today, longtime holdout Wildwood is joining the happy-hour fray. Monday through Friday from 4:30-6:30 (I love when happy hours run a little bit later), you can enjoy a sampling of one of Portland’s perennial favorites without breaking your bank or counting on your boss to foot the bill (Holla, Win!).

On the beverage side, choose from $5 cocktails, $5 dollar wine pours, or $3 drafts (if you’re really strapped, Sessions are only $2).

At $8, the burger’s going to have to be pretty damn good to compete for best value on the street—reigning champion Serrato is only a few blocks down 21st—but some cheap appetizers from the Wildwood kitchen are enough to get me in the door for a couple after-work drinks. Full menu after the jump…

I'm going to try to make it in this week, but, if you get there first, let me know what you think.
