You may be surprised to learn that happy hour actually originated in the early 20th Century and has since transformed into the after-work staple that we all know and love.

History of Happy Hour

Happy hour had a different meaning when it first came about during the early 20th Century. In the 1920s the term was American Naval slang created after the First World War. These hours were created for sailors to have time to enjoy relaxing activities on their ships. It was used to boost their morale much like a modern happy hour does for people after their workday.

Prohibition

The American Prohibition also affected how happy hours came into existence. During the Prohibition period, alcohol consumption and sales were banned throughout the country. Americans quickly found a way around these new laws by creating speakeasies. This was a secret place to enjoy beer or liquor before enjoying dinner. Happy hour then became the term to describe these illegal get-togethers. Luckily for us, happy hours are no longer considered illegal and can be enjoyed by all.

Happy hours typically begin at 4 pm but at Salt & Barrel, you can start the party early and enjoy discount drinks from 3-6 pm.
