My entire office of co-workers responded saying, “What?!? That’s so bizarre.” lol. And then they asked, “Why?”

Here is a pretty good conversation on Yelp that kind of explains it, it’s complicated….

From what I can gather, “Happy Hour” isn’t technically illegal, but bars aren’t really allowed to have drink specials, which to pretty much everyone, is what constitutes a “Happy Hour.” However, in an effort to avert that stipulation, most bars reduce their appetizer/food prices to make that time right after work a little more special.
