Happy hour perch

STOOL

Think of where you might sit to enjoy a drink at a bar—it’s often tall and has no back support.

"Happy hour perch" plays on where people sit during happy hour—a bar stool. The word "perch" hints at something you sit on, like a bird on a branch or a person on a stool. It’s a straightforward pun, swapping the literal meaning of "perch" (a roost) for the bar seating you’d find during drink specials. The answer is "STOOL," the common term for that tall seat.
