We are profoundly thankful for our incredible neighborhood and this city for supporting our local business over the years. Serving our guests was always our greatest privilege.

What You Need To Know About P.F. Chang's Happy Hour
While the concept of happy hour is certainly nothing new, how restaurants go about taking advantage of these few hours has evolved over time. And while a good restaurant isn't defined by its happy hour, having a nice one with several options certainly doesn't hurt. It's a great way for customers to take a load off, relax after a long day, and enjoy a beverage and some discounted food. While some restaurants drop the ball on this opportunity, other restaurants understand the assignment and offer amazing happy hour deals. And, in our opinion, P.F. Chang's fits that bill. Like any other chain restaurant, P.F. Chang's happy hour availability will vary by location. It's possible that some locations don't offer a happy hour menu. But, generally speaking, the chain's typically offered menu is an excellent one with good prices and several classic P.F. Chang's options. On Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., you can choose from a selection of beer, wine, and cocktails, as well as a choice of half-priced small apps. Let's break it down a little more, though.

You can choose from the Pink Lotus Cosmo or the Zen Margarita. It also offers select well drinks for $8.99 and a variety of domestic beers on draft for $5.99. Happy hour wine options are limited to a 14 Hands Merlot and Chardonnay for $6.99 each. In our opinion, the best part of the P.F. Chang's happy hour is the food options. It's like a mini "greatest hits" of the restaurant chain's menu -- with all four menu items priced at $8.99 each. It starts with P.F. Chang's signature dish -- the classic lettuce wraps with a half-order of chicken or vegetables. You might also go for the slow-braised short ribs (a three count) cooked in a BBQ sauce or a "Northern Style" dry rub. Next is a three count of crab wontons filled with creamy crab, bell pepper, and green onion with a spicy plum sauce. Finally, the restaurant offers three pork or shrimp dumplings, either steamed or pan-fried, and served with a light chili sauce. So if you're a fan of P.F. Chang's and have a little time on your hands between 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on a weekday, go get yourself some cheap lettuce wraps and a nice glass of Chardonnay. You're in and out the door for just $16 plus tax. That's pretty good food and drinks at a really good price. Outside of happy hour, P.F. Chang's also serves some other good deals (their lackluster frozen dinner options – especially the chicken teriyaki bowl – isn't one of them). Read the original article on Chowhound.

Where happy hour is a crime: A state-by-state map of drinking deal bans
For many nine-to-five workers, happy hours are a treasured tradition to unwind after work. But in six states, evening drink discounts are illegal. Massachusetts was the first to ban happy hour specials in 1984, after a fatal drunk driving accident that was tied to a drink promotion. As an anti-drunk-driving movement took hold, other states followed Massachusetts's lead. The 1980s saw widespread changes to alcohol laws, including bans on unlimited drink deals, two-for-one specials, and multiple drinks served at once. During that decade, the national drinking age was also raised from 18 to 21. Since that initial wave of drinking restrictions 40 years ago, though, some states have started to rethink their laws. Kansas was the first state to repeal its total ban on happy hour specials in 2012, with Illinois and Oklahoma following suit in 2015 and 2018, respectively. Yahoo News used data from the Alcohol Policy Information System to map where bans on happy hour and unlimited drink specials remain.
