On what day is National Happy Hour Day celebrated? November 12
What is National Happy Hour Day? This day celebrates the fact that it’s five o’clock somewhere! Happy hour is a term primarily used by restaurants and bars in which any visiting customers, between a certain time slot, can purchase discounted drinks and food.
