What makes a great happy hour? To me, it’s three things: 1. Convenience – either close to the office or to your house, 2. Great deals on drinks and food, and 3. Atmosphere. In order to make this list of the top happy hours in the Denver Suburbs, the following happy hour spots had to meet all three criteria above.
These are either my personal favorites, or come highly recommended. Enjoy the best happy hours that South Metro Denver has to offer, and please let me know if I missed one!
