Happy Hour Steals & Daily Deals

By: Cam Schilling

Whoever decided that the typical happy hour would in fact be closer to two or three hours, I tip my hat to you. We’re all running on Tahoe Time, so the extra long ‘hour’ helps. Not sure how every joint unanimously agreed to that one, but it’s probably because this recipe for success needs no fixing – happy hour, happy people.

Happy hour heroes, rejoice. There’s a cold one with your name on it just about anywhere you look, and special deals for any night of the week so you won’t need to empty your pockets. For something we can all get happy about, check out these Lake Tahoe classics and local favorites with plenty of different options on special deals to get a little loose.
