While we may be hovering near fireplaces, stuffing our cute outfits into oversized coats, or simply going out a little less due to the cold, there is still some fun to be had during the winter months here at the shore. Don’t let the early darkness put a stop to your plans when you can indulge in the happiest hour… and here in South Jersey, we are no strangers to it.

Happy hour offers great prices, small bites, and friendly vibes before the dinnertime rush checks in, getting you back on your cozy couch or home at the perfect time to call it a night, or use it as a pregame for a full night out. Whatever the vibes, whatever the reason, all are welcome to a South Jersey happy hour. Our local bars and restaurants pull out all the stops with great deals, tastes and vibes for their various happy hours!

Queen Jaynes

Queen Jaynes in Somers Point, currently themed as The Royal Rose for Valentine’s Day, offers a happy hour that can’t be missed. The vibes are always on there, but their specials and bites during happy hour kick up the smiles a notch. From Wednesday through Saturday, 4 to 6pm, kick back with $5 specials, margaritas, house wines, and bites. Thank us later, because when you step through those doors, it’ll be hard to leave.

ByrdCage

A place that welcomes everyone, especially for a fun-filled happy hour. ByrdCage in Atlantic City offers happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 6pm. Enjoy $7 draft beers, cocktails, wines, and $10 specialty cocktails. Bites to die for and even some fuller menu items to fill you up.
