happy hour crowd
After-work drinkers gathering
The happy hour crowd is the group of people who gather at bars and restaurants during early evening drink specials, typically between 4 and 7 PM on weekdays.
The phrase often implies office workers unwinding after their shifts: The happy hour crowd filled up the patio by five-thirty.
It can carry connotations of boisterous, loosened-tie sociability.
