Zavino
Objectively delicious, Zavino's biggest flaw is that it's closer to Drexel than it is to Penn. While their happy hour provides numerous drink options at seriously reasonable prices, their food options are somewhat limited (but when pizza is the limit, I'm not complaining).
Monday–Friday, 4:30–6:30 p.m.
$3 Bartender's Choice Beers, $4 Wines, $5 Zavino Cocktails, and $8 Margarita Pizza
Distrito
Though Distrito's decor continues to bewilder, there's nothing confusing about their food and drinks. If you haven't taken advantage of Taco Tuesday, you should, and if their usual $15 margs aren't your style, their happy hours drink prices are much more palatable.
Tuesday, 5–7 p.m.
$2 tacos, $5 guac and salsa, and $3 Corona light draft
Sunday–Saturday, 5–7 p.m.
$5 Feliz Margaritas, $6 Sangria and House, $5 Wine, Salsa Mexicana and Chips
$7 Veggie Nachos, $5 Select Beer
White Dog
It's not just for Parents' Weekend. White Dog offers some serious happy hour deals on both food and drinks.
Monday:
50% off bottles of wine
Monday–Friday, 4–7 p.m.
$5 wine, $4 drafts, $5 cocktails, $6 for 6 oysters, $4 sides, $8 apps, $10 shared plates
City Tap
It doesn't get more convenient than Tap. Basic and reliable, you know what you're going to get and it's going to be pretty solid. Happy hour provides a decent discount, but unfortunately no food. Stick to ordering pizza straight to your door in the Radian.
Monday–Friday, 5–7 p.m.
$2 off all drafts and house wine, $6 sparkling sangria
Copa
Copa is always down to turn up. Exams end on a Monday? Head to Copa! They have a different special every day of the week.
Monday–Thursday 5–7p.m. & Friday 4–7 p.m.
$3 & $4 draft beers, $3 well cocktails
$6 nachos $6 chicken and veggie quesadillas

Saturday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–1 p.m.

New Deck Tavern
Probably the most standard of bar happy hours near campus, their happy options are as bar–basic as they come.
Monday–Friday, 5–7 p.m.
$1 off all beer, cocktails, and wine by the glass
$6 Appetizers (Chicken Tenders, Nachos, Quesadillas, & Spinach–Artichoke Dip)
Pod
Don't get me wrong, Pod is pretty good, but it's also pretty pricey. Their happy hour food deals let you embrace the hip ambience without breaking the bank.
Monday–Friday, 5–7 p.m.
$6 select cocktails
½ off draft beer
$6 sauvignon blanc and pinot noir
$6–9 select appetizers (including unagi roles, cucumber roles, tuna poke, robata corn)
