The 27 must-hit Happy Hours in the Lehigh Valley

Where to Happy Hour

When work is over, many retreat to area hot spots to enjoy drink specials and nibble on finger foods during Happy Hour.

And we know nothing is better than doing it on the cheap. So we scoped out our favorite 27 establishments and all the deals for you. We stayed away from major chain restaurants and focused on regional establishments.

We tell you our favorite specials, how much they are and when to grab them. Some of the best deals we found include wings under $1, $5.99 for a large plain pizza, $3 for two tacos, and $5 cocktails. Other places go the extra mile -- think chicken cordon bleu bites, pork pinchos, chick pea fries with curry ketchup and sauteed lump crab cake with caper aioli.

After reading the list you'll want to grab your work buddies and head on over when it's time to punch out.
