If there is one time of the week that I could constantly put on repeat, my answer would certainly be Friday night. My Friday nights are typically spent chillaxing with close friends, ranting about any accumulated frustrations over a bucket of happy hour beers on the table. But sometimes, the week might feel a little too long to wait till Friday to let the steam go, so here are some bars and restaurants that offer happy hour promotions every weekday for you to jio your drinking kakis to!
