Oh, I loves me an ultra-early happy hour. There's something freeing about tying one on when the rest of the world is waking up, although nursing a hangover before the sun sets can be a drag.

But I digress. Shlomo and Vito’s New York Delicatessen at 2870 E. Skyline Drive now offers happy hour from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sundays, with $5 bloody Marys, mimosas and margaritas. The employee we talked to said there aren’t any food specials yet, but nobody said you had to eat.

Sam Hughes Place Championship Dining at 446 N. Campbell Ave. also offers early-morning drinking starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, with a bloody-Mary bar and $3 mimosas. There’s also a pretty decent breakfast buffet available for $7.99.

Diablo’s Sports Bar and Grill over at 2545 S. Craycroft Road also offers breakfast starting at 9 a.m. on Sundays, and drink specials galore. An employee there says a bucket full of bottled beer goes for $15, and there are other specials on rum-and-cokes, bloody Marys and Budweiser bottles.
