All reviews of The Triangle are dated as soon as they're posted, but here goes.
Happy hours are what keep me coming back here. Always check the appropriate websites, but this is what they have as of right now:
Yard House
Happy Hour
Monday - Friday 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Late Night Happy Hour
Sunday - Wednesday 10:00 pm - close
Yard House is a long-time favorite. Good food (including items with Gardein products), good service, and an excellent beer selection.
Saddle Ranch Chop House
Happy Hour
Monday - Friday 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Ordinarily this wouldn't be my kind of place, but they allowed our friend's dogs to hang with us on the patio (take that, Yard House!) There were one or two decent beers on special, and the apps that we tried were pretty good. Free shots at the end. Thanks, Saddle Ranch!
Olive Branch/Black Knight
Happy Hour
Friday 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Interesting that Olive Branch gets top billing here. We tried their pizza, and it was OK. It needs more sauce and less cheese, but the small pie was so big that my wife and I couldn't even finish it, and the price was right. They have a couple of good draft beers, and they're reasonably priced, too.
H2O Sushi and Izakaya
Happy Hour
Sun - Wed 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Mon - Wed and Fri 3:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Haven't been here. Apparently celebrities have.
Tavern + Bowl
Happy Hour
Daily 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
They have a number of other specials, too, like Taco Tuesday all day, Happy Hour Wednesday all night, and Martini Madness Thursday.
This place is a mixed bag. Some apps are quite good, and they have a great beer selection, but service can be really spotty. Sitting at the bar is probably your best bet. Wednesday Trivia nights are fun, especially with that extended happy hour.
La Vida Cantina
Happy Hour
Monday - Friday 3:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Thursday - Saturday 11:00 pm - 2:00 am
Taco Tuesday 4:00 pm - close
Very cool outdoor patio that reminds me of being on vacation. Hilarious people watching. Try the chicken taquitos and the Ginger Lime Margaritas. The late-night happy hour with $5 margaritas and 50% off featured apps can't be beat.
Sutra Nightclub
Let's just say that I'm not in their target demographic, and I probably wasn't twenty years ago. If you are, sign up for the guest list. Pregame. Bring earplugs.
OK, that's all I got. Parking is rarely an issue because I can walk here. We just found out that using Uber to get here can be as cheap as OCTA. Be responsible! I wish that I could recommend biking, but my friends got their bikes stolen from here about ten meters from the security station.
I think I have one of these things, but I'll probably never use it. Go for it:
