Spring is a great time to get outdoors and socialize a bit more than you did in the colder winter months, and hitting a happy hour after work is a fun way to do it. If you’re looking for a new happy hour spot in the Fairfax area for your next evening out, here’s a list of great bars and restaurants to visit.
High Side. This Taiwanese eatery is just as well known for its happy hour drink deals as it is for its menu of delicious and creative cuisine. From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, you can take advantage of discounted beer and wine while you share flavorful food options with your friends or coworkers.
Caboose Commons. For the beer lovers in your crew, this popular brewery makes a perfect happy hour destination. There’s ample seating inside the modern, airy tasting room, as well as discounted beer and cocktails during the post-work hours.
Dolce Vita Wine Bar. If you’re more interested in wine than beer, this is the place for you. Dolce Vita is classy and atmospheric for a more upscale happy hour experience, but the discounted wines by the glass and affordable appetizers make it a place that won’t break the bank.
Bartaco. Locals love this small chain of stylish taco spots for the delicious food and creative drink options, but Bartaco also makes a popular happy hour spot thanks to its extensive happy hour from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Pair fun taco platters with mezcal drinks or craft beers, and on a warm evening, head outdoors to enjoy the great vibes on the outdoor patio.
Ornery Beer Company. The name says it all — happy hour at this brewery is sure to be fun and carefree. The brewpub atmosphere creates the backdrop for an impressive list of draught beers, and with deals on both food and drinks until 7 p.m., it’s easy to make it out after the work day is through.
