A Toast to Summer Solstice: Longest Happy Hours in Newport Beach
Happy Hour is considered a daily holiday in Newport Beach. Luckily, the restaurants in town are well aware of this weekly tradition. Some restaurants are a little more in tune and know that 3pm – 6pm is just not enough time to celebrate a hard-earned and half-priced cocktail. The following places have granted these thirsty requests and to your benefit, we took the liberty to list out the longest happy hours in Newport Beach.
Harborside Restaurant
It’s only right that Harborside Restaurant is the first featured happy hour on this list since it is the longest happy hour in Newport from 11:30am – 7pm. Not only is this a time to load up on craft cocktails and draft brew but there is also a happy hour food menu. The menu ranges from fresh oysters to ahi nachos. This is a happy hour you don’t want to miss nor can you since it lasts pretty much all day, EVERYDAY. Check out the happy hour menu here.
