Chicago happy hours that are actually happy

I’m always annoyed by happy hours that start at 2 and end at 4 or the whole menu is over $10. Not very happy, so these are true happy hours found in Chicago

A happy hour that includes the weekend 👏🏾 and it goes from 5-6:30 so people actually have time to get off work. Oh, and everything on its menu is $6. Amazing in this economy

A happy hour in West Loop that goes until 7pm so actually gives you time to make it after work. The prices are average: $10 cocktails, food $8-16, but they do have beer and wine for $6-8. They also have a $25 girl dinner which is probably the best de...

Also a typical 4-6pm happy hour BUT, all drinks are under $9 and majority food under $9. The only thing $10 is Parmesan fries, but they’re bottomless for up to 4 people so a good deal 🔥 I’m a huge proponent for the food here, the wagyu burger 👌🏾 D...

They have happy hour every day, from open until 6:30pm and all day on Sundays 🙌🏾 a full menu might I add of drinks, appetizers, and full sushi rolls. The shishito peppers are a must as well as the mango crab rangoons

Their happy hour is the typical 4-6pm but it’s everyday, so you can even catch it on the weekend! The menu has $2 beignets (a must try!), 50% off appetizers, and $8 frozen cocktails.

Happy hour on Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays from 5-8pm?? Truly unheard of in Chicago. And it would be unbeknownst to me not to mention the drinks are $5! It’s select drinks but there’s variety to choose from whether your vibe is beer, wine, or ...

They have several locations with happy hour from 4-6pm. Some even include food on the menu, but unfortunately this one didn’t, BUT all the drinks on the HH menu are $8 or less and you know I live to see single digit prices on a HH menu. This one is c...
