If I have the option, I always try to visit restaurant or bar during happy hour. This is the time when drinks are offered at a lower price. Some places even offer more than discounts such as free drinks or half-price appetizers. My personal favorite for happy hour is Yard House, where you can get half-price pizza, onion rings, wings, and chicken wraps during happy hour.

What Does Happy Hour Mean?
You might have heard of the term “happy hour” somewhere. While happy hour menu varies wildly from restaurant to bar, it has the same general meaning. Historically, happy hour is a sales and marketing term used by food, drink, and entertainment businesses such as bars, restaurants, and cafes. It generally refers to a time when alcoholic drinks are offered at a discount. Restaurants often offer discounts during slower times of the day. This is why you often see happy hours run between 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. in between the lunch and dinner rush.
Later, enterprising owners added their own twist on happy hour like half-price appetizers, discounted food items, or a buy 1-take 1 drink scheme.
Happy hour is a go-to for all sorts of people—from bar regulars to hardworking folks who just want to unwind after a hard day’s work. Use the captions, taglines, and quotes above to let people there’s happy hour worth checking out.
