Happy Hour. It’s the best hour of the day. Especially after a long day at work. When I worked in Arizona on a very stressful project, my coworkers and I always ended up going for Happy Hour after work. But Happy Hour isn’t just for stressful day but a great way to hang out with friends. Of course, Happy Hour isn’t just an hour. Happy Hour in Los Angeles can start as early as 2:00 pm but it’s the best time to discover best restaurants at discounted prices. I can’t wait to share with the top Happy Hours in Los Angeles that I have discovered.
The Top Happy Hours in Los Angeles
Cecconi’s West Hollywood

Cecconi’s is a retro, chic Italian restaurant on Melrose Ave. Since it’s affiliated with the Soho House, it’s an A-list favorite with an amazing Happy Hours (HH) menu. It’s the perfect time to discover Cecconi’s in my opinion. It’s more affordable and chill. And the appetizers are phenomenal. I’m not a huge fan of Italian food but Cecconi’s truffle arancini (vegan) make my mouth water. There’s plenty of vegan options. My favorite drink is the Eastern Standard and popular drink is Aperol spritz.
WHEN: Tuesday – Saturday, 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
COST: Food & drinks from $3 – $6 -$9
