Happy hour is a popular social tradition that originated in the United States during the early 20th century. During happy hour, bars and restaurants offer discounted prices on drinks, appetizers, and small plates to encourage customers to gather and socialize during off-peak hours.
Happy hour has become a restaurant and bar industry staple, with many establishments offering unique specials and promotions. Even coastal towns have coined the phrase "No Shower Happy Hour," encouraging customers to go straight from the beach to their favorite bar without changing their beach attire. While you can always check with your local bars for other happy-hour offerings near you, here are our recommendations for some of the happiest happy hours in the area.
