Zimzala Restaurant & Bar at Shorebreak Hotel, one of our favorite hip and casual spots in Huntington Beach, is debuting daily themed happy hours from 3 to 7 p.m. through summer.
Look forward to Mojito Mondays, Tequila Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, Fusion Friday, Sparkling Saturday, and Saving Sunday. And if you can’t make it in early, go to the reverse happy hour Friday and Saturday nights with food and drink specials served from 10 to 11 p.m.
Zimzala specializes in traditional American favorites--it’s too difficult to name our top choices—but know that Chef Roy Hendrickson will take good care of your taste buds. (Pictured above, Ketel One Bloody Mary terraine). You won’t be disappointed with the three cheese flatbread with mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, roasted mushrooms and truffle oil; baby-back ribs with sweet and spicy bbq sauce, grilled white corn on the cob, smashed yukon potato puree; or the grilled sirloin burger with gruyère cheese, caramelized onions, buttermilk roll, housemade pickles and parmesan-garlic fries.
Zimzala also sports the best in surf-inspired, casual décor reflecting the Huntington Beach lifestyle. Sit at their communal dining table for an opportunity to meet new friends.
