2024 Best Happy Hour

Grace & Proper’s M For Monday

At long last, a happy hour for the night owls, and at Bella Vista’s coziest, buzziest Euro-bar, no less. On Mondays, from 8 to midnight at the very vintage Grace & Proper, expect bevs and small bites all $8 and under. Their happy hour menu is constantly rotating, but what a perfect excuse to visit week after week, sampling various obscure spirits and cured meats from their extensive Portuguese-inspired menu.

2023 Best New Happy Hour, 'burbs

Blue Elephant

Who says a happy hour has to start at 5 p.m.? Leave work early — hell, you’re probably WFH anyway — and head to this new Main Line spot that offers discount drinks and snacks from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Your best bet is the $16 temaki trio — three hand rolls of shrimp, salmon and yellowtail — washed down with a glass of French rosé ($9) or a 3 Floyds Zombie Dust pale ale ($6). On Wednesday afternoons: $20 Japanese whiskey flights. Read More »

2016 Best Happy Hour With Your Co-Workers

City Tap House

When City Tap House opened in 2014, we assumed it would be just another semi-lame happy-hour bar. Instead, we got a venue that now hosts every beer launch of note. It's got 40 taps; a location convenient to Center City-ites and train-riding suburban beer nerds; and enough elbow room for them all to raise a glass. Read More »
