Happy hours are here again. Happy hours were always there. There are lunch services and there are dinner services but it is the intermittent time period of 04:00 to 07:00 PM in most of the places, where the Happy hours are on the roll. Attractive offers, 1 plus 1 offers on alcohol and sometimes, a special menu is what makes happy hours a talk of the town. And, there are some places, where the happy hours are packed with happy people.

It is often seen that happy hours are an attraction for office goers, who manage an early exit, especially on a Friday. They join towards the fag end of the happy hours, order their drinks and end up having a great Friday night. We usually see happy hours on weekdays only, from Monday to Friday.
