After a long, hard day of trudging to class and trying to not slip on the ever-present ice, who doesn’t want to enjoy a nice happy hour special? But not all happy hour deals are made equal. For a great happy hour special, one must have good food, good drinks and most importantly, it all has to come at a good price. Bar Louie, 1520 Chicago Ave., offers all that and more with a large array of happy hour specials. If you have classes between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., skip them because Bar Louie offers half price on select appetizers and flatbreads Monday through Friday. For those 21 and older, the happy hour specials often include a variety of drink specials including $1 select beers on Wednesday nights, from 5 p.m. to close. If you are craving a burger, hopefully it’s Tuesday because the restaurant offers a $1 burger special after 5 p.m. Bar Louie offers good food and a fun atmosphere at all hours, but for college kids on a budget, its happy hour deals really can’t be beat. Plus Thursday night trivia at 8 p.m. is a great way to show off that Northwestern degree and maybe even enjoy an appetizer or two.
