There are some that trace the term “happy hour” back to the United States Navy, who used the term to described scheduled onboard entertainment back in the 1920s.  Others pin the term’s origin back to the speakeasies and other houses of ill-repute that cropped up during Prohibition.  While the term’s past may be up for debate, there is no disputing that Happy Hour as we know it now stands for the glorious time of day marked by cool venues, discounted food and drink, and fun social interaction.  indeed, there is nothing quite like the feeling of leaving your cubicle behind after a hard day of work, popping over to your favorite Happy Hour venue, and be greeted by a group of smiling friends and special menus packed with half-priced drinks and cheap, yummy food.  And if you can’t find your way to your favorite hangout within the traditional Happy Hour time frame, don’t fret:  There are an abundance of places offering special late night Happy Hour menus, ready to satisfy your need to indulge in a nightcap with your buds.
