TGIF: Try One of These Top-Rated Happy Hour Bars in Hinsdale Tonight

Looking to unwind after the work week? According to Yelp, these are the five top-rated bars with happy hours in the Elmhurst area, and they’re counting down the minutes until 5 p.m. just like you are.

1. Fuller House: 35 E. First St.

Let's start with maybe the most important thing about Fuller House, other than its happy hour specials: they have not one, but three sizes of soft pretzels, all of which have been described as incredible and come with yummy dips, too. If you want great drink deals, you'll want to visit the spot between Monday and Thursday, but extensive wine, beer and liquor lists still give you a great selection on Fridays.

2. Fox's: 777 N. York Rd.

People love Fox's Hinsdale location, which features great pizza and drinks. Stop by Friday for an all-you-can-eat fish fry, which is $16.99 and includes a house-made dessert. It's dine-in only, so stop by with some friends and take a seat.
