Top 10 Happy Hours in Colorado Springs
Let’s be honest, enjoying a good happy hour after work maybe one of the most satisfying delicacies in life. But, when searching for the right happy hour fit, where do you turn? What truly makes one Happy Hour better than the other? Sure, personal preference plays a huge role, but are there some distinct points that we subconsciously look for when choosing our next Happy Hour spot? Don’t worry, we decided to do you a huge favor and WAY overthink the process in an attempt to figure out where the Top 10 Happy Hours in Colorado Springs are!
Some of the criteria we took into account when choosing our Top 10 were the following notions… For one, you can’t just offer specials on booze, you need to also have a food component to be considered top notch! The broader the options on the food fraction, the better we feel the happy hour is. Same thing when it comes to drink specials, the more variety the marrier! As for price-point, pricing is of the upmost importance when evaluating a happy hour, but often times you get what you pay for when you step up the Happy Hour ladder just a little bit, so we tried to keep take that into considerations and focus on real value.
So, with our newly discovered science of Happy-Hourology and these loosely guided, standards of practice in mind, we are excited to reveal our Top 10 Happy Hours in Colorado Springs. You’re wallet will thank us later!
*I should point out that these are in no particular order. Just 10 of our favorites!
