With the the popularity of happy hours at bars and restaurants around the country, people are finding more places to enjoy discounted food and drinks.

In the past month, The Dispatch has offered four happy hour recommendations:  The first was the GOAT, then The Pearl, Forno and High Bank Distillery.  

Continuing this series, our next suggestion is Marcella's. A Cameron Mitchell restaurant with two locations, one in Polaris and another in the Short North, Marcella's offers discounted drinks and food, including select pizzas.

If you haven't been to a Marcella's location, here's why we recommend it.
