Maybe you have the day off. Maybe you just dropped the kids off at soccer practice and need a break. Maybe you’re leaving work a little early for an afternoon “meeting.” Whatever the case, happy hour is there for you.
We all know that pretty much every bar in every town has some sort of happy hour deals, but if you’re looking to grab an early dinner or afternoon snack along with your drink, options are a little more scarce. These restaurants and taphouses offer some of the sweetest deals around.
