It’s no secret that COVID-19 has affected our social lives in many more ways than we expected. Still, after a year of social distancing along with other restrictions, most people can’t wait to return to life as usual.
If you are one of this multitude and truly enjoy social drinking and eating, but are not in the mood to spend too much money on an afternoon out, many South Florida restaurants and bars have you covered.
The happy hour deals offered at the following five locations will make you want to go out every single day of the week because, let’s face it, who isn’t down for a drink and some appetizers?
But remember, you should be 21 to enter. And don’t drink and drive.
