Fun Fact: Did you know that before July 1, 2019 restaurants weren't allowed to advertise their happy hour specials? Source: ABC VA Well that was then and this is now, the secret network of happy hours is about to be revealed.
Happy Hour coordination involves timing, proximity, price and drink type being served. You wouldn't go to a wine happy hour when all you're looking for is half off whiskey and coke.
Yo! Noke has sorted the below 8 Roanoke happy hours spots based on time, drink type and location so regardless of what area of Roanoke you're in, what type of drink you're looking for or what time it is, you'll be sure to find the best location for you.
