Oh, happy hour. That magical slice of the day when the work emails fade into the background, the lighting gets a little softer, and your wallet breathes a sigh of relief. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur, a craft beer evangelist, or just someone who thinks “half-off apps” is a love language, there’s a happy hour out there with your name on it-probably written in neon.
