Happy hour? Postponing your trip home from your miserable job to scarf up steam-table food, bitch and moan with (or about) your coworkers, and load up on enough central-nervous-system depressants to numb yourself to the horror of tomorrow's onslaught?

Yes! Give us some of that!

Fortunately, the South Puget Sound has MANY places in which this time-honored postwork ritual hews a little more closely to its cheery moniker, where food, drink, and  convivial surroundings conspire to make happy hour, well, happy.

Our happy hour guide hit the streets Feb. 11. If you missed it you can still find South Sound happy hours in our Bars and Clubs section here.
