Whether celebratory or consolatory, a drink with friends is always a good time. Even more so if it’s unlimited or discounted. Happy hour is a long standing tradition that highly stressed office workers look forward to. Aside from the discounted drinks, it’s also a way to decompress from the work day and have a good time.
Alcohol isn’t always the answer, but these bars and restaurants will make sure your cup never runs dry.
