Best Saturday-night special

D.C. Deli Cafe

The D.C. Deli specializes in good food for a reasonable price, but their Saturday night special comes loaded: It's a spaghetti dinner for two -- and we're talking a huge pile of perfectly cooked pasta, topped by a thick, meaty sauce filled with fresh herbs -- that also includes a hefty salad of mixed greens coated with homemade dressing and a basket of spongy, chewy-crusted bread, all for $16.95. Enjoy your meal out on D.C.'s spacious patio, and it really hits the spot.

Best Sunday-night special

Hemingway's Key West Grille

Although Hemingway's Key West Grille serves up crab legs every day of the week, on Sundays it really gives you a leg up -- offering Alaskan king crab legs that normally run $31.95 for a pound and a half at $29.95 for all you can eat. And it's not just all you can eat of the succulent crabmeat, either: The special also nets you thick-cut fries and bread. Enjoy this feast fit for a king crab in an atmosphere that's appropriately nautical. Papa, don't preach -- just pass us another load of legs.

Best Sunday happy hour

Andrews' Pub & Lounge

Andrews' Pub, which took over the space once occupied by City Spirit, has been making a name for itself as a good happy-hour stop and a hoppin' weekend joint. Our favorite time to visit Andrews' is on Sunday afternoons, when the normally raucous crowd is home nursing a hangover. It's the ideal time to get going on one of your own, since the brews -- including Guinness, all well drinks and the house wine -- are $2.50 all day. Settle into one of Andrews's comfy booths, watch the big game, eat a mountainous order of killer nachos absolutely smothered with cheeses, or just stew over how your Saturday night went so wrong. At $2.50 a pop, you'll be feeling better within ten bucks.

Best happy-hour shrimp

Anita's Crab Company

Work has just ended, and your energy is flagging: A quick bite and a beer should help you regroup. Between 5 and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, Anita's Crab Company delivers a half-pound of fresh shrimp and a zingy cocktail sauce, which comes with a dollop of horseradish in the center, to your table for just $3. Peeling the shell off of shrimp has a way of soothing even the most savage computer technician, and the combination of sweetly marinated crustaceans and tangy, snappy sauce staves off some hunger without making dinner an impossibility. Enjoy the shrimp inside Anita's cool, casual dining room, or head to the uber-urban patio surrounded by lofts and parking garages. Then it won't matter so much if you drop a shell or two in your attempt to forget the day.

Best happy-hour oyster bar

Willie G's

Craving oysters in Denver is like needing a tomato in Siberia. Although the freshness will always be suspect, sometimes there's nothing you can do about an oyster urge but take a chance and eat one -- or a dozen. As LoDo has grown, plenty of oyster eateries have sprung up, but none offers the deal that Willie G's does. From 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, you can slurp your fill of cold, raw oysters for just 50 cents each. Although the price is good, the quality is better: These are some of the freshest, plumpest viscous vittles in town.
