I'm not sure that I've ever met someone who doesn't appreciate a good Happy Hour. After a long day or a long week, sometimes the perfect way to unwind is a cold drink and a tasty snack with friends. Indianapolis certainly isn't hurting for excellent Happy Hours. Some even have menus that are so hefty, yet so affordable, that you can eat up and forget worrying about what's for dinner. Take a look at what's available and meet me at the bar!

McCormick and Schmick's - This is by far THE best Happy Hour I have ever found. All you have to do is purchase a beverage, adult or not, and you have your choice of menu items ranging from $1.95 - $4.95. For a restaurant of this quality, you just can't beat it. The specials run Monday through Friday, 4pm - 6:30pm. Check our their menu.

Rock Bottom Brewery - Rock Bottom has 10 items priced from $2.99 to $4.99, each based off of popular appetizer or entrees from their menu. Pair it with a $2 Beer of the Day Monday through Thursday. The specials run Monday - Friday from 4pm - 6:00 pm. Thursday nights, get 25¢ wings from 4pm - 10:00pm.

Rick's Cafe Boatyard - From 4pm - 6pm Monday through Friday, enjoy half price appetizers and pizza. Drink specials vary through the week.

Smokey Bones - Smokey Bones has no regular Happy Hour schedule, but they always have some kind of deal. These deals range from $1 beer nights, $1 shots to $2 margaritas.

Uno Chicago Grill - They call it their "Snack Hour". Sunday through Friday from 4pm - 7:00pm AND from 10pm - close, enjoy $2 Bud and Bud Light drafts.
