Episode 216: Hunt 4 Best Happy Hour

Hi everyone! It’s me, J.P. Lamp, your friendly neighborhood Happy Hour enthusiast and yes, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! My quest to find the best happy hours here in Chicago.

Acceptable hours
4 - 6 is the standard
Do they offer it on Fridays / weekends?
Do they have a Social hour outside of 4 - 6?
Multiple options of food
Are things shareable?
Are menu options the same size or smaller portions for less money?
Can you have a well rounded meal for happy hour?
Are there pairable items that are easy for the restaurant to upsell?
Is it just $ off the menu options prices - just discounted or actually different offerings?
Multiple drink options
Is it only house wine + domestics?
Is it $ off cocktails?
Are there specialty cocktails for HH?
Half off wine BOTTLES and you win
Service
Did someone make sure you wanted to put in one last order before HH ended?
Was the HH menu mentioned to you?
Is it easy to get a seat?
Will I Come Back?
How was the overall experience?
Did the menu entice me to come eat here for a full price meal?
Will I come back for the happy hour?
Based on your expectations / anticipation, was it worth it?
