What counts as reverse happy hour?

There is no single citywide definition. In practice, Phoenix restaurants and bars use the term for discounted food or drinks offered later in the evening, often after 9 or 10 p.m. A restaurant may offer both a conventional afternoon happy hour and a separate reverse schedule.

For places where patio seating is part of the experience, see our Phoenix patio dining guide. If your plans are earlier in the day, our Phoenix breakfast and Phoenix brunch guides cover a different part of the Food & Drink cluster.
