Happy Hour returns to Indy with lots of specials

Happier days are ahead. Gov. Holcomb signed House Bill 1086 into law, repealing the 40-year-old ban on discount drinks during specified hours.

Beginning Monday, July 1, Happy Hour will be legal in Indiana. The new law will also allow restaurants to sell in-house cocktails to-go. But there’s a catch: Happy Hour can’t run for more than four hours a day or 15 hours a week, and not after 10 p.m.

Restaurants and bars around Indy are definitely happy about the return of Happy Hour — and they’re not wasting any time announcing new specials.
