River North Chicago Happy Hours

River North Chicago Happy Hours.

I love Happy Hour

Dining out can be expensive. A great way to get a cheap meal and adult beverage(s) is to go to Happy Hour. Most restaurants these days offer one otherwise people will just go elsewhere. Thankfully most Happy Hour menus are on websites now. They are usually listed under menus, events or specials on websites.

All happy hours are in the bar only. All prices are valid at the time of this post and can change without notice. Always check the website and/or call to confirm that happy hour deals are still available before heading over. Prices don’t include tax and tip. Cheers!
