Having a truly happy Happy Hour

KC Beer Blog has brought up an interesting subject that doesn’t get enough attention: happy hours.

Yes, Fat City tries its darn-tootingnest to highlight all the best happy hours in town but there are many restaurants we never talk about because their happy hours leave lots to be desired. By following KC Beer Blog’s seven rules to a great happy hour, they could be on their way to more business. Rule number one, for example, states that happy hours should be at least three hours long. Shorter than that and restaurants are just limiting the good times. Rule number four:

Make it easy to take advantage of the happy hour, people are coming and

going constantly so you don’t want it to be complicated. Buy X get Y

for 1/2 price is annoying, just give us Y for 1/2 price. The goal is to

get people to drink in your place, not get them to buy something you’re

not willing to discount.

I tried to find a happy hour that fits all seven rules and I came close.
