The highest-scoring happy hours in town — venues rated 4 or 5 on our HH Score for exceptional value and quality. 46 venues found.
Every venue here earned a 4 or 5. A 5 means exceptional deals at a venue with excellent food, drinks, and atmosphere. A 4 means the value-to-quality ratio stands out from the neighborhood. The difference between a 4 and a 5 comes down to the overall experience. A 4 has great deals at a good venue. A 5 has great deals at a place where the happy hour makes something normally out of reach accessible — wood-fired pizza from a James Beard-nominated chef at half price, or $7 craft cocktails from a bartender who trained at a world-class program. Worth planning your week around. Most are walkable from other top-rated spots, so you can string two or three into an evening.
