Courtesy Starbucks We'll have to say goodbye to the Starbucks happy hour for the rest of 2020, but it's for a good reason. For restaurants, 2020 was far from business as usual. Your go-to fast-food restaurants closed dining rooms and switched to drive-thru and takeout only. Starbucks chose to temporarily switch to carry-out orders only and even shut down some of their stores in highly trafficked locations. Everything has slowly been inching closer to normal, but safety is still the most important thing. That’s why, in order to keep the crowds down, there won’t be a Starbucks holiday happy hour this year.
