Post-work happy hours can be a fun way to relax with friends and coworkers, but sometimes busy schedules or rush-hour traffic just won't allow you to make it in time for a five o'clock happy hour. Luckily there are several bars throughout the city with happy hour specials that cater to the night owl crowd. Unwind late into the night at the five Pittsburgh bars that offer everything from late-night bites to tempting drink deals. The hard part is deciding which of these awesome happy hours to check out first.
