Happy hour was traditionally designed to target office workers to come in for a drink and appetizer choices after a long workday. Happy hours boasted reduced food prices, drink specials, and the perfect opportunity to interact with coworkers in a more socially enticing environment. Today, the idea of happy hour has expanded to include outdoor entertainment, live music, and great food.
