Naperville happy hour has a house style: a Riverwalk room with a weekday ticket, then a Route 59 brewpub where the apps carry the hour. Downtown wine bars, Spanish mansions, and Crossings Italian rooms all print their own numbers. These are the signature sips and bites the venues themselves publish — with prices only where the bar printed them.
Sips the houses name
Catch 35 (35 S. Washington St, Downtown) posts weekday drink specials with no start–end clock on the page: $12 martinis every Monday, $11 house margaritas every Tuesday, half-priced select bottles of wine every Wednesday, and $6 imported and craft beer every Thursday. SixtyFour Wine Bar & Kitchen (123 Water Street, Downtown) posts $9 mimosas and Bloody Marys all day Sunday. On Jefferson Avenue, Lou Malnati's (Downtown) posts Monday–Thursday 3–5 PM, dine-in only, with the chain happy-hour page listing $6 beers, $6 wine, $6 personal deep dish or small thin crust, $8 cocktails, and $8 appetizers — menus vary by location, per the chain page. Out on the arterials, Granite City Food & Brewery (Route 59) posts Taco Tuesday with a $10 taco trio and $5 house margarita, plus Thursday $3 GC pints and $5 Flying Monkeys Friday.
Bites worth crossing the river for
Catch 35 posts half-off the bar food menu Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday in the bar and patio. Meson Sabika (1025 Aurora Avenue, Downtown) posts $5 tapas Monday–Thursday 3–6 PM. Biaggi's (2752 Showplace Drive, 95th Street) posts a happy-hour menu Monday–Friday 4–6 PM with hour plates at $6, including fried Italian cheese sticks, calamari fritti, and bacon-wrapped dates. Granite City's PDF prices $6 apps (chicken tenders, spinach and artichoke dip, margherita flatbread), $7 pretzels and beer cheese, and $8 Idaho nachos or buffalo shrimp. SixtyFour's daily 4–6 PM raw-bar and appetizer hour names no dollar amounts in the HTML, so treat it as a window-only row.
