It’s hot. You’re thirsty and hungry. You want nothing more than to sit in a comfortable chair in a cool atmosphere and just ... be. Ya know?
So when the mercury rises and the clock strikes five (better yet, four), it’s all about finding happiness. For the third year in a row, Local iQ feels you. If our readers aren’t happy, we’re not happy. Hence, the 3rd Annual Happy Hour Issue, a fairly comprehensive guide to many area watering holes and their drink and food specials during the highly sought after hour we like to call “Happy Hour.”
Before you read on, remember that the following bars listed are ones that actually have a so-called “Happy Hour.” If your favorite bar or brew pub isn’t listed, it’s probably because their drink and food prices are never lowered as a lure for you to stop in and order a cold one. No worries. You’re still happy, right? Again, it’s all about being happy. Cheers!
