Happy Hour Chicago

UPDATE: I haven't updated this page since 2012 so some of these deals may have changed or no longer exist. Check the establishment's website for current specials. Feel free to email me with any suggestions or corrections (rome@reallyclasy.com). 

I'm all about free food and alcohol, but I'll pay for it when I'm desperate, or lucky enough to have found money lying around in a purse that I accidentally pickpocketed with ninja-like precision.  Fortunately there are many bars and restaurants around Chicago that have great happy hour specials. Below is a list of places with totally gnarly deals for those of you who snort at the idea of paying $14 for a cocktail or a trio of hummus puddles. I've taken the effort to list some of my favorites places, as well as a few websites that have more comprehensive listings of deals throughout the city. Feel free to email me (rome@reallyclassy.com) if you know of any amazing happy hour deals that aren't currently listed.
