Picture this. You’re sitting at one of your favorite Chicago bars…but instead of staying out late, you’re drinking at a reasonable hour; and instead of drinking full price drinks and eating full price food…it’s alllllll discounted. What you’re picturing ladies and gentlemen is a little, glorious, amazing thing called HAPPY HOUR. Let’s dive in, shall we…
Remington's {20 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago; 312.782.6000}

Come check it out every Monday-Friday from 4-6PM in the bar & lounge exclusively.
City Winery {1200 West Randolph Street, Chicago; 312.733.9463}
City Winery is most commonly known for…you guessed it…wine! But did you know they also have Happy Hour every weekday from 4-6PM at their West Loop location? You can enjoy ½ off City Winery wine while sampling cheesy pizzas (oh yeah, those are ½ off too!). Deals like this are perfect for groups of friends, or for parents who are looking to enjoy their wine in peace while their kids are distracted by pizza!
Frasca {3358 North Paulina Street, Chicago; 773.248.5222}
Frasca Happy Hour takes you out of downtown and up north to the quaint but bustling neighborhood of Roscoe Village. Perfect for anyone looking for a more intimate and homey experience, they have $5 select glasses of wine - ranging from sparkling to reds, whites, roses and sangria - during their Happy Hour. The food portion of the menu includes classics like charcuterie boards, but also some fun options like the “Commuter Special” which lets you pick any pizza and any Happy Hour beverage (or beer) for just $20! Now that is what we call a DEAL.
Prime & Provisions {222 North LaSalle Street, Chicago; 312.726.7777}
Prime & Provisions Happy Hour menu is the definition of “balling out on a budget” and people do NOT talk about it enough! Known as a fancy steakhouse with an extensive wine list, it’s hard to believe that they also have a knock-out Happy Hour menu too. Well, believe it! From gourmet food options like Lobster Rolls, Fried Chicken Sliders & Petite Cheeseburgers all under $15, you could almost skip dinner (we said almost…..). Pair any or all of your bites with one of their five specialty cocktail options, all $12, and you are in for a heck of an evening! The deal runs Monday-Friday from 4-6PM in the bar area exclusively. We recommend starting there and then making a dinner reservation immediately after so you can dig in to some of their famous cuts of prime beef.

Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! {2024 North Halsted Street, Chicago; 773.935.5000}

A restaurant with a core menu of Spanish tapas, pintxos and sangria, this spot has group dining written all over it. They stay true to their roots in the Happy Hour specials too, offering TEN different tapas options at an extremely reasonable price…like $2.50 type of reasonable… Sample bites like Garlic Potato Salad, Iberico Ham Croquetas, Roasted Dates! Even the drink deals are great for groups, with a pitcher of Red Sangria starting at just $20 and other select beers for under $5. We know tapas are meant to be shared but that might be hard at a place like Ba-Ba-Reeba…so don’t miss out on this next level deal DAILY (yes that includes Saturday & Sunday) from 4-6PM in the bar area only.
