Maximizing your time during happy hour is all about strategy. At Dugout Bar & Grill, we know that happy hour is more than just discounted drinks—it’s a golden opportunity to unwind, socialize, and enjoy great deals.

Happy Hour Hacks: How to Make the Most of Your Time

Here are some hacks to help you make the most of your time:

  1. Arrive Early – The best happy hour experiences start before the rush. By arriving early, you not only secure a good spot but also have the bartender’s full attention, ensuring faster service. This gives you more time to enjoy the atmosphere and the specials before the crowd pours in.
  1. Prioritize Your Choices – With limited time, it’s essential to know what you want. Scan the happy hour menu quickly and pick out your top choices—whether it’s that craft beer you’ve been wanting to try or a signature cocktail. This prevents decision fatigue and allows you to maximize your enjoyment without wasting time.
  1. Take Advantage of Bundles – Many happy hour menus offer combo deals, like a beer and burger or wings and a cocktail. These not only save you money but also time, as you can satisfy both your hunger and thirst in one go. Keep an eye out for these deals to get the most value out of your visit.
  1. Socialize Wisely – Happy hour is a prime time for networking and socializing. Use this time to catch up with friends or make new connections. However, be mindful of your time—it’s easy to get caught up in conversation and miss out on ordering another round of your favorite drink before the deals end.
  1. Know When to Call It – Finally, be aware of when happy hour ends. If you want to squeeze in that last drink, order just before the clock runs out. This ensures you’re getting the most out of the specials without having to pay full price later.

By planning your approach, you can turn our happy hour into the highlight of your day. Remember, it’s all about making your time count!
