Happy Hour Meaning
The tradition of a happy hour can be traced back to the early 20th century, when it was a slang term used by sailors in the United States Navy (USN). The phrase signaled a scheduled time for entertainment and recreation onboard ships.
As time went on, the concept of happy hour moved from ships to shoreline, evolving into a pre-dinner period where drinks are offered at reduced prices in bars and restaurants. It attracts a great crowd and fosters a cheerful environment before the evening unfolds.
Why Is Happy Hour So Popular?
Happy hour has become a symbol of relaxation after a long day. It’s a time to unwind, enjoy good company, and savor tasty food and drinks at great prices. The attraction of a good discount, lively ambiance, and the promise of a good time draws individuals from all walks of life into restaurants and bars for a well-earned break.
When Is Happy Hour?
Happy hour is celebrated in the late afternoon to early evening, before dinner. It’s that golden hour when the workday ends, and the promise of a leisurely evening begins. Happy hour is a tradition that provides a cost-friendly way to enjoy cultural experiences, inviting guests to enjoy the connection and happiness that comes with sharing a meal.
