If we haven’t made it clear via our non-stop social media posts, we love a good happy hour in a sure-i’ll-skip-the-gym-again-today kind of way. Detrimental to our health? Eh maybe.. but in this case, we hope to make it advantageous for you. Don’t worry, we have openly admitted that this love for happy hour tends to aid to our non productiveness however, we have decided to turn it into something productive and share our favorite #rva happy hours with you all once a week.

Between the two of us, when we get the itch to go to happy hour, we have yet to find a good go-to site that highlights the happy hours that make you feel as fancy as you are and not like the rosè (or bud light, personal preference) chugger that you may or may not be. First up this week falls into the well known category of Wine Wednesday. I almost fell off of my stool in surprise when the bartender at this week’s restaurant, Southerly, referenced the Wednesday happy hour. He explained that all of the bottles of wine were half off and while I got excited for the $22 dollar delicious rosè on the menu – this excitement did not distract me from the fact that Veuve Clicquot was also on said menu. Being the envelope pusher that I am, I threw a curveball at the bartender by asking if Veuve was included. If you are a fellow Veuve lover, you know that the answer to this question tends to be disappointing but fear not because I almost fell off of my stool again because he said a whopping yes. Veuve for forty something dollars? Count us in.

Oh, I should probably add that the wine list is subject to change, that Southerly is the restaurant connected to the lovely Southern Seasons off of Staples Mill, & that yes, they have a patio. Happy Wine Wednesday-ing and you are welcome for the advance notice because premeditated happy hours are ze best.

PS Stay tuned for next weeks featured happy hour!
