The Local Happy Hour Hotspots

Temecula is great for wine, wineries and wine bars – but what about trendy cocktails, single malts and microbrew beers? Yup, great for that too! And how better to get out and start sampling what’s there than during everyone’s favorite time of day – happy hour! It’s too much fun trying out different happy hour hotspots around town for yourself, trying to narrow down your faves, so we won’t ruin it by letting you know exactly what you’ll be in for in each and every locale – but we’re glad to get you started in the right direction with a couple of local winners.

Going to Harry’s in Temecula isn’t just ‘going to a bar’, it’s an experience. You may wonder what to expect at a restaurant that is only open for dinner during the week, well expect great food and a fantastic happy hour layout – certainly a contender for best in town!

The bar starts filling up already around 3:30 and most tables have been snapped up by 4:30 by the regulars at Harry’s, a mixed bunch running from 30-somethings looking to network or meet the opposite sex, all the way up to pensioners who come to socialize too, of course, and also for the fun atmosphere and great happy hour deals.

Thursday nights seem to be the most popular and the bar has a way of filling up beyond full, only those savvy enough to have come sufficiently early to have secured a table can smugly and comfortably watch the throngs of people milling about and trying to have a conversation above the noise.

Tuesday nights are a little more tame and wine tasting is the theme. They have featured wines on special that can be purchased by the glass or the bottle. You can also bring your own bottle and no corking fee is charged – talk about promoting wine for everybody! This is a great night to come and relax, enjoy good food, good wine and the absence of inebriated hoards – of course some folks love ‘being in the thick of it’, and for them Thursdays await!

The atmosphere at this bar is just great – any night of the week is good to go and have a great time, though you can count on settling back to enjoy some live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. Ladies night is Thursday and they always do some type of fun contest to keep the ladies coming in.

Always a good time and a fantastic place to meet new people.
