Best happy hour deals you've seen?

So I usually go to a bar on Thursdays that has a taco bar with the purchase of two drinks. It's unlimited free food(actually high quality) with the purchase of a drink. This same bar has unlimited free wings on Friday, but I rarely go to this.

Now I know most bars don't do things like this anymore, and it seems like kind of a relic of the past. However, in sure some of the old timers have stories of even better happy hours where everyone went to the bar after work.

Not to hijack, but if anyone knows of any happy hours in EL tonight, let a brotha know. Thanks.

I'll bite.

B-dubs used to have Wed 25 cent wings. My buddy and I would go, get a couple dozen wings and a couple of pitchers for pretty cheap. This is when Bdubs was in the basement.

Pizza place in Lansing did $2 schooners during MSU games. Art's I think?

I hate all the fake happy hours now. 2-1 drinks, we'll serve 2 draft beers for the price of 1! Except its in an 8 ounce glass and still costs $5.

I live in nc. What is this happy hour?

About 4 years ago I went to South Beach, one of the few times I did. I had the day off and my neighbor invited me, was a good chance to go out. I walked down Lincoln Rd. Stopped for lunch at a place offering 2 for 1 drinks. Ordered a margarita and a burger. The place wasn't busy, Margarita took about 15 minutes to get to me. The burger about 30 minutes. I asked for the second one before the burger came out, got it at the same time I got the bill. The bill was $45 and tip was already included.

TL:DR 2 drinks and a burger in South Beach cost me $45.

Over the summer I stopped into Brother's in Champaign with my gf. It was game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, and we were the only people in the bar for 3 hours. It was $2 top shelf night. $2 top shelf shots inc. $2 Grey Goose and Grapefruits. Well shots were a dollar. It did not end well.

You youngin', I remember when it was 20 cent wing night. What a difference a couple of years makes.

Back in the early-mid 90s, Ricks had $1 pitchers for Happy Hour. For a while it was Busch, then they downgraded to Old Stool. Made us miss the "premium" beer, Busch. But even Old Stool was a good deal at that price, and you could down it quickly enough that you soon didn't care about the taste.

I get a kick out of the Bar Louie happy hour nowadays. $3.25 drafts, and I can't imagine the thick deceptive glass holding more than like 11oz.

Haha, happy hour isn't the only time I go to bars. However, a good happy hour is a good happy hour.

I don't patron the types of establishments that would host something like a happy hour.

maybe it's just me, but on first glance I always think that this Marc's avatar is David Duchovny except if he were a black woman.
