Went to Mallory for pizza late this afternoon. When we left at 5:15, there was a waiting line, so they don't need to offer happy hour to bring in the customers!

Bingo. Businesses are allowed to adjust their practices to remain profitable. And people are allowed to go elsewhere.

Perhaps it would just cost too much to maintain a longer happy hour through the tourist season.

If I go to a restaurant, I can hope there is a "Happy Hour", but I'm not going to get up and leave because there isn't one!!! I'm there for the food and a glass of wine. If I have to pay regular price, So be it!! I can always have my Happy Hour at home or neighbors before we leave. Restaurants need to make their money during this time frame, to keep them going in summer, when things are slower. I'm just glad instead of having just a Happy Hour, I'm having a "Happy Day" (24 hrs)

Bill :)
Perhaps I misunderstood, but I got the impression that there was concern about paying higher prices for the after-golf round of drinks, because the happy hour time had changed.

Why would any, right-minded, business person leave money on the table by extending discounted drink prices into the dinner hour?
They will, and should, save the "good-will" for the off-season.
I agree -seems like with this huge influx of people, the bars and restaurants are absolutely packed - they don't need to offer incentives to draw in customers.

Kind of makes since that with a seasonal business you would try to maximize revenue for the four months to help get you through the slow season. I would think shortening the happy hour during these four months is simpler than raising the prices and keeping the hours the same. Whats the better alternative??

I'm all for a shorter Happy Hour during snowbird season, as opposed to across the board prices increases all year long.

Better sacrifice that beer you'll loss in the long run.

Our weekly men's golf group (12-16 guys) are going back tomorrow. Not putting a price tag on relaxation and refreshment.

I think Cane Gardens made a change too. I ordered a beer, the waitress brought 1 instead of 2 but only charged $1.35. That's a better way to do it so you're not forced to drink 2 beers when you only want one. This should cut down on the drunk drivers during the "high season".

With 80,000 people here full time, do we really have an off season anymore?
