After the hustle and bustle of a hectic work day, it’s nice to take a step back and sip on a little something to relax.

Guam’s restaurant and bar industry is thriving. Some rely on a solid foundation of loyal customers, and others have diversified their offerings with a variety of both drink and food items. Still others set themselves apart with live entertainment, signature food and drink menu items or a specialized ambiance or theme. This makes for a considerable and welcome number of options available for the person looking for an early evening hangout. Of the many options available, Guam Business Magazine chose 10 establishments that offer a happy hour spread.
