If you go for the right things at the right places, the deals are real. But what are the do’s and don’ts of great happy hours?Wide Range of Drink SpecialsPlaces that only offer one or two types of beer on discount are lack luster at best. Truly great bars will usually discount almost everything. Look for bars that are offering a lion’s share of their booze at a discounted rate. Be weary though of places that advertise “drafts only” or “bottles only”. Their selection for whatever is on special could be bad.Legit FoodThe best places for happy hour offer cheap drinks, and even cheaper food. Any bar will a sizable menu will offer something for cheap during happy hour drinks. If a place only puts one appetizer on sale, it’s probably not very good. The solid restaurant bars usually discount all of their apps.Best Philly Happy HoursOur wonderful fans submitted their favorite places to go for happy hour in Philadelphia and Delaware County. Here are the top responses and recommendations from our poll:Frankford Hall. Doubt it’s the best in the city but it’s merit stands in such sharp contrast to everything else about that place.– Mike from Port Richmond in Philadelphia, PASampan! $3 drafts & speciality cocktails. Plus their really expensive delicious food is cheap and they have the sweet outside grafitti bar.– Hali from Astoria in NYCEl Rey is the only Happy Hour I know of in the city worth going to. $1 Tacos, $2 Tecate Cans, $3 Modelos, $4 House Margaritas. 5-6:30 M-F.– Scott from Point Breeze in Philadelphia, PAWhichever one has me forgetting who I am by 7:00.– Jeff from “The Deep South” PhillyI prefer to hit up moderately expensive Center City/Old City spots for $5 cocktails. There are a ton of places that have really good deals. Valanni and Lucha Cartel are my go-tos. Lucha Cartel has pretty good margaritas and Valanni has a drink that’s almost like a whiskey mojito that is really good and will knock you on your ass.– Marissa from Girard Estates in Philadelphia, PAThe Foodery because I work there.– Rachel from The FooderyBar-ly in Chinatown has a legally dubious 10pm to midnight happy hour. $3 Peking Duck Sliders and $4 for a glass of wine.– Matt from South PhillyEl Camino real has $1 unlimited chips and salsa and strong, real fruit margaritas for $3.
