Everything You Need to Know About Sonic Happy Hour

Did you know you can enjoy half off certain menu items during the Sonic happy hour? The drive-in restaurant also offers several other money saving events throughout the week. Here are all the ways to save money at the restaurant chain.

Sonic Happy Hour

Happy hour occurs every day from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm — slushes, drinks, and hot dogs are half price at this time. The Sonic happy hour is perfect for an afternoon snack or cold treat on a hot summer day.

Sonic Nights

A spring and summer tradition known as Sonic nights returned March 5 and will run through August. Sonic nights feature half-price shakes, floats, and ice cream slushes after 8:00 pm every day. Floats and ice cream slushes are priced the same as classic shakes. Add-ins are extra, as always.

Family Night

Tuesday is family night at Sonic. Bring the whole family for half price cheeseburgers from 5:00 pm until closing. If you can wait until after 8:00 pm, you can take advantage of both the family night and Sonic nights specials to supersize your savings.

Jump Start Your Mornings

Sonic has a special for morning people as well. Large drinks cost 99 cents, and large specialty drinks are just $1.49 every morning before 10:00 am.
