Postino happy hour is built around wine by the glass and pitchers of beer, generally offered from opening until 5 p.m. The price depends on the location. A separate Monday and Tuesday Board + Bottle offer begins after 8 p.m.; it is not the same deal as daytime happy hour.

Quick Answer: Phoenix Central currently lists $6 wine glasses and $6 beer pitchers daily until 5 p.m., plus $25 Board + Bottle after 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. San Diego Little Italy lists $7 drinks and a $30 evening bundle. Regular food prices are separate from those drink offers.
Postino Happy Hour Menu Prices by Location
Use the location-specific offers below, checked October 2, 2026. Tax, tip, additions, and wine eligibility can affect the final bill. These are verified location examples, not a nationwide average.
| Location | Wine glass / beer pitcher | Posted timing | Board + Bottle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central, Phoenix | $6 / $6 | Daily until 5 p.m. | $25; Monday–Tuesday after 8 p.m. |
| Highlands Ranch, Colorado | $6 / $6 | Daily until 5 p.m. | $25; Monday–Tuesday after 8 p.m. |
| Little Italy, San Diego | $7 / $7 | Daily until 5 p.m. | $30; Monday–Tuesday after 8 p.m. |
| Buckhead, Atlanta | $6 selected wine glasses and beer pitchers | Advertised daily; page does not specify a 5 p.m. cutoff | $25; Monday–Tuesday after 8 p.m. |
The beer offer is for a pitcher, not automatically every bottled beer or pint. Ask which drafts and wine glasses are included. Postino’s general offer pages do not list a fixed pitcher volume or every eligible label, so neither is assumed here.
Postino Bruschetta and Boards: Regular Food Prices
A board can accompany happy-hour drinks, but that does not make its standalone price a happy-hour discount. The following prices come from the current food menus linked at Phoenix Central and San Diego Little Italy.
| Board | Phoenix Central regular price | Little Italy regular price |
|---|---|---|
| Bruschetta board: choose four | $17.75 | $19.25 |
| Table Cheese | $17.95 | $19 |
| Chef’s Charcuterie | $18.95 | $20 |
| Pub Board | $17.95 | $19 |
| Smoked Salmon | $17 | $18 |
| Greek Hummus Board | $15 | $16.50 |
The bruschetta menu lets you choose four selections for one board. Its current choices include cheese, cured meat, fish, vegetables, and sweet-and-savory combinations. Ask about the chef’s choice before treating it as a fixed topping.
| Bruschetta selections |
|---|
| Brie, apple, and fig |
| Burrata, bacon, arugula, and tomato |
| Prosciutto, fig, and mascarpone |
| Salami and pesto |
| Ricotta, dates, and pistachio |
| Boquerones |
| Pepper jam and goat cheese |
| Fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil |
| Smoked salmon and pesto |
| Warm artichoke spread |
| Mushroom and mascarpone |
| Chef’s choice |
For these two food menus, gluten-free bruschetta bread adds $2. Do not assume that a bread substitution is included in Board + Bottle without checking the promotional order. The board’s listed calorie range does not clearly state a complete four-selection total, so no whole-board estimate is presented.
Postino Food to Pair with Happy-Hour Drinks
These are regular menu prices—not a separate discounted appetizer menu. Showing both locations avoids presenting Arizona pricing as a California price.
| Snack | Phoenix Central | Little Italy |
|---|---|---|
| Olives | $7.95 | $8.95 |
| Herbed French Fries | $8 | $10 |
| Sweet Potato Wedges | $9.95 | $10.50 |
| Seasonal Burrata | $13.25 | $13.50 |
| Crispy Cauliflower | $13.25 | $13.75 |
| Roasted Mushroom Fondue | $13.75 | $15 |
| OMG Grilled Cheese | $15.25 | $15.75 |
| Skewers | $15.50 | $16.50 |
| Meatballs & Goat Cheese | $15.50 | $16.50 |
| Shrimp Scampi | $16.95 | $17.25 |
For a fuller meal rather than a snack board, both menus also offer paninis, salads, soup, and plates. The panini table below remains regular-priced even when you visit during the drink promotion.
Paninis and Plates
| Item | Phoenix Central | Little Italy |
|---|---|---|
| Caprese | $15.25 | $16.25 |
| Chicken & Mozzarella | $15.50 | $16.50 |
| Tuscan Tuna | $15.75 | $17 |
| Nine Iron | $15.75 | $16.50 |
| West Coaster | $15.50 | $16.50 |
| Italian Beef Dip | $17.50 | $17.75 |
| Prosciutto & Brie | $16 | $17 |
| Lemon Butter Chicken Plate | $17.50 | $19.75 |
| P.R.E.A.M. Bowl | $17.50 | $19 |
| Select Two: half panini, half salad, or soup selections | $16.75 | $17.75 |
Panini bread and side choices can change the total. Both linked menus list a $2.50 gluten-free bread charge for paninis and $2 side upgrades for fries or soup. Ask about the current choices before treating a base price as an all-inclusive order.
Postino Board + Bottle on Monday and Tuesday
Board + Bottle combines a bruschetta board with a bottle of wine after 8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday. The checked price is $25 at Central, Highlands Ranch, and Buckhead, and $30 at Little Italy. Confirm the eligible bottle selection; the offer does not establish that every wine on the full list qualifies.
The early and late offers leave a gap. At a location with a 5 p.m. daytime cutoff, visiting at 6 p.m. does not qualify for the daytime drink price or the after-8 p.m. bundle. Choose the promotion first, then plan your arrival.
A regular Central bruschetta board plus two qualifying $6 wine glasses calculates to $29.75 before tax and tip. The same example at Little Italy calculates to $33.25 using its $19.25 board and $7 glasses. These are arithmetic comparisons, not advertised combinations; two glasses and a bottle are different quantities.
Postino Happy Hour Days, Times, and Location Rules
The checked Central, Highlands Ranch, and Little Italy pages advertise the daytime offer daily until 5 p.m., including weekends. The start is opening time, not one universal national hour. Check the restaurant’s opening time for your day; do not use a Friday opening as a Saturday schedule.
Buckhead’s current page advertises daily $6 selected wine glasses and beer pitchers without a displayed cutoff. Ask that location about timing rather than assigning it the 5 p.m. rule shown elsewhere.
Before planning a patio visit or group gathering, check the local reservation options. Central lists a dog-friendly outdoor patio; that does not establish a pet policy for every Postino. Event packages, catering, takeout, and Bottle Club benefits have their own terms and are not automatically covered by happy-hour prices.
Postino’s food menus warn that its kitchens handle gluten and other allergens even when gluten-free bread is available. Discuss substitutions and cross-contact with staff rather than relying on an item name alone. Current official menus include nutrition figures, but calories change with bread, sides, toppings, and shared-board selections.
For another wine-oriented outing, compare the Cooper’s Hawk happy hour menu. If your group wants a broader bar-food selection, review the Culinary Dropout happy hour guide and its local seating and timing rules.
