"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee is back! For the entire month of March, we're serving up fun articles on bars, clubs and beverages – including guides, the latest trends, bar reviews, the results of our Best of Bars poll and more. Follow along with the #DrinkOnMke hashtag too. Grab a designated driver and dive in!

Sometimes we could all use just a little bit more happy in our lives. And what's better way to get happy after a long day than some friendly conversation with a cool (discounted) drink to wash it all down.

We've got your number. Milwaukee is filled with great taverns, pubs and restaurants, many of which encourage folks to gather after work to enjoy a drink or two and share in some good old fashioned Midwestern community.

Be advised that happy hour specials can change without notice; we suggest you check with your bartender at each location for verification. And, while our list gives you an awesome place to start, it's not comprehensive ... so feel free to share your favorite in the comments below. And get to celebrating the happiest hour of the day!
