"Happy Hour" Gets Even Happier at Haru

“Happy Hour” is about to get even happier at Haru in the Back Bay. Beginning August 17, Haru will revamp its popular afternoon and late-night bar and lounge menu to include seven newcomers that are brimming with treasures from land and sea.

Available for $8-and-under, Haru’s new offerings infuse Japanese culinary delights into a social bar experience and include Kushiage, skewers of flash fried shrimp and avocado with yuzu ponzu sauce ($6); Char Sui Pork Bun, a steamed bun with grilled pork belly, namasu, cabbage and cilantro ($6); the four-piece Yuga Roll, with spicy salmon, lemon and cucumber rolled in rice, sesame seeds and nori, topped with eel and massago and served with spicy mayo ($7); the soy-and-curry braised Tempura Short Rib, with romaine lettuce, herb salad and pickled onions ($8); a tender Chicken Satay, marinated in coconut curry with almond dipping sauce ($6); the spicy Wasabi Fritters, seasoned with Ichimi Togarashi flakes and infused with shiitake mushrooms, served with lemon dressing ($6); and slow-cooked Spare Ribs, marinated in lemongrass and chilies, grilled to perfection.

Haru also will continue to serve up “Happy Hour” classics, including Edamame ($4), California Roll ($4), Spicy Tuna Roll ($5) and the Crunchy Spicy Salmon Roll ($5).

Available beginning August 17 in the bar & lounge area, Monday through Saturday from 3pm-7pm and 10pm-close.
