Did you know that downtown New Haven has more than 50 happy hours hiding in plain sight? Restaurants you pass every day. Bars you keep meaning to try. Lots of places offering solid deals on food and drinks—if you know when to show up.
That’s where our brand-new New Haven Happy Hour Guide comes in. It’s a work in progress, grown out of our work putting together The Chaser, but it also hits the ground running, giving you a fact-checked, updated list of happy hours and other similar food and drink specials at dozens of downtown bars and restaurants. (For now, we’ve also included spots that don’t currently offer happy hours, because they’re places you might reasonably wonder about.) We’ve also used some nifty spreadsheet tech that allows you to sort, search, filter and even change the sizes of columns and rows.
It’s possible we’ve made mistakes or overlooked someplace, so be sure to let us know if you spot anything. And happy hours change, so if you come across new info, send it our way. Meantime, we’ll get busy expanding the guide into other neighborhoods.
Our goal is to make this a happy hour planner people actually use. So give it a whirl. Let us know what you think. And happy exploring!
