happy hour
After-work specials time
Happy hour is a period, typically in the late afternoon or early evening, when bars and restaurants offer discounted drinks and appetizers to attract customers between the lunch and dinner rushes.
The term extends loosely to any scheduled social drinking occasion: The office has a happy hour every Friday at five.
Despite the name, it often lasts longer than an hour.
