When we want to celebrate or just get a drink after work, we’re usually in a fix. The fast-paced city life has us going from one spot to the next, in search of exciting cocktails, amazing food and a pleasant ambience. Whether with work colleagues, a friend or that special someone, you sometimes just want to go out and have a good time. But be honest: As much as you love heading out to a buzzing bar, when the bill arrives - it often slaps you back to sobriety. And that’s why we LOVE happy hour.
