When<\/strong>: Taco Tuesday 3\u20139 pm, Perfect Thursday 3\u20139 pm (Dine-in only for both)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u5723\u514b\u62c9\u62c9\u5e7f\u573a<\/a> is here to fix your midweek slump. The space is full of color, sunshine, and that buzz that tells you people are having a good time. The patio fills up fast, and the scent of fresh tortillas seals the deal. On Tuesdays, tacos are half off, which is reason enough to leave your desk early. Thursdays bring half-off margaritas because hydration hits different when it comes with salt on the rim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Final Sip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From Puesto\u2019s tacos to JOEY\u2019s patio cocktails, these spots prove that the best happy hours in Santa Clara are more than drink deals. They\u2019re little midweek celebrations that make any day feel like Friday. Whether you\u2019re near Valley Fair, Santa Clara Square, or downtown, you\u2019ve got plenty of reasons to raise a glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> Make a reservation. Even on a so-called slow day, Santa Clara has a way of filling up fast. Between work groups, celebrations, and last-minute meetups, it\u2019s not unusual for restaurants to book out just when happy hour hits. A quick call ahead can save you from standing around watching someone else enjoy the last seat at the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Happy hour is a great way to spend time with coworkers or clients outside the office,” says Ben Landis, Senior Marketing Manager at Discover Santa Clara. “It\u2019s relaxed, social, and shows off the city\u2019s best side with good food, great drinks, and even better company.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So grab a seat, order something cold, and make yourself at home. Santa Clara\u2019s best happy hours are proof that you don\u2019t have to wait for the weekend to have a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
