Drink Up Columbus shares a love of the greatest time of day with my blog, Twenty Dollar Dates – Happy Hour!
Happy Hour is the perfect way to save a buck and still have fun. And Happy Hours make great $20Dates because you can meet up casually after work and not put a dent in the pocket book — win win!
