Did someone say “Happy Hour”?! For many, it’s the best part of the day to grab drinks with colleagues, have an early dinner date, or catch up with friends while enjoying discounted food and drinks.
So, where are restaurants in Claremont with happy hour? I had to do some detective work since not all happy hours are listed on their website or social media profiles. After several days of calling around, I got the scoop on restaurants in Claremont with a happy hour.
