Planning a happy hour soon with your favorite crew?
Happy hours in August are most likely still indoors, but in the fall, happy hours outside really shine in Phoenix. Truly, we’ll get through this heat. While the rest of the country is cooling off and staying inside, you and your friends/family can enjoy cheap appetizers and drinks during happy hour while enjoying the beautiful, cool sunshine here in the Valley.
So where are the best happy hours and patio bars in Phoenix? Your list of happy hour bliss is below:
