Dinner during happy hours

Dining during happy hours can be an excellent way to save money, enjoy great food and drinks, and experience the local cuisine while traveling. Here are some tips and tricks to make the most of happy hour deals during your travels:

1. Research Ahead of Time:

   • Look for local food and drink blogs or websites that may have listings of happy hour specials.
   • Apps like Yelp, TripAdvisor, or even local-specific apps can be a gold mine of information.

2. Ask Locals:

   • People who live in the area will often know the best spots that may not be on the typical tourist radar. Don't be shy about asking hotel staff, tour guides, or even friendly locals you meet.

3. Start Early:

   • Happy hours tend to start in the late afternoon and run into the early evening, so consider having an earlier dinner.

4. Share Dishes:

   • Many happy hour menus offer small plate or tapas-style dishes. This is a great opportunity to order several dishes and share with your travel companions.

5. Limit Alcohol Consumption:

   • While it's tempting to enjoy discounted drinks, remember to drink responsibly, especially in unfamiliar places.

6. Don’t Forget to Tip:

   • Even if you're getting a deal on your meal or drinks, always tip based on the original price, not the discounted price.

7. Check for Restrictions:

   • Some places might have a minimum purchase requirement or may only offer happy hour specials at the bar and not at regular tables.

8. Mix It Up:

   • Try to visit different places throughout your trip. This way, you can experience a range of cuisines and atmospheres.
