Polpo restaurant in Greenwich is hosting “martini nights” from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

At $10 a pop for a martini, it’s not your most bargain basement happy hour. But with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and live entertainment in the longtime Greenwich standby’s piano bar, you could look at it as a relatively affordable night on the town.

Though not a celebrity hotspot on a par with Gabriele’s Italian Steak House or Mediterraneo, two other Greenwich eateries, Polpo has drawn its share of big names, including A-Rod and Kate Hudson, Katherine Heigl, and none other than John Boehner.
