Will Happy Hour Drink Specials Return to Illinois?

It's Cheap Eats Week at Eater, and while other cities are writing about happy hour discounts, Chicago's left out in the cold. That's because Illinois lawmakers banned happy hour discounts in 1989. This basically covers two-for-one specials and other discounts that happen during a specific time period. However, there's a bill waiting for Gov. Bruce Rauner in Springfield backed by the Illinois Restaurant Association that would lift the restrictions and bring back the specials. But not everyone is, well, happy about the potential return, citing public safety concerns. There's worry about sloppy patrons and DUIs. Here's all Eater Chicago's coverage on the bill, check it out below.
