Happy-hour pick: Hi Kori and Bao Bar

Hi Kori/Bao Bar, Chinatown Square, 1016 Race St., 5-7 p.m. daily and midnight-2 a.m. Sunday-Thursday

Maybe spending happy hour in a food court sounds odd, but not when you can belly up to the bar at Hi Kori and its adjacent Bao Bar in Chinatown Square for not one, not two, but five “citywide” specials.

For $6, you can get the ordinary citywide, which is a Bud Light and a well shot. For a dollar more, the Korean special brings you Hite and a soju shot, the Chinese special is Tsingtao and a baijiu shot, the Japanese special is Sapporo and a sake shot, and the Philadelphia special is a Yards Pale Ale and a shot of Jameson.

A worldly citywide, in other words.

The happy hour also offers $8 tea cocktails and $6 well drinks, plus on the beer side, $4 Sapporos, $5 Heinekens, and $3 Bud Lights.

There’s a discounted food dish or two, including yakisoba ($6, served with okonomiyaki fries), but the everyday food prices here are low enough, including $5 vegetable gyoza, $5 tempura shrimp shumai, and various “Japadogs,” such as a nori dog topped with spicy mayo, nori, onions, and garlic for $4.
