Chicago saves happy hour for the work week, and Thursday is its day. Nearly every venue on the list runs a window on Thursday, Friday has noticeably fewer, and no more than about a third offer anything on the weekend. The standard window is two hours, 4pm to 6pm, and hardly anything starts after dark.

River North is the biggest neighborhood on the list, the Loop follows, and North Clark Street runs past more of these bars than any other road. Cocktails are the most common deal, and martinis have their own line at a fair number of places. Reclaimed in North Center pours a $4 martini or cosmo from open until 6:30pm, Monday through Thursday.

Queen Mary in West Town breaks the weekday habit on Sundays, with $1 oysters and $6 martinis from 3pm to 7pm.
