Happy hour in Indy: Aperol spritzes at Bocca

• Grab a friend and check them out!

I popped into Bocca for its pretty unbeatable $5 aperol spritz and $1 oyster deal.

The vibe: Inside is cozy, cool and intimate, but a large outdoor patio offers a more laid-back place to gather with a group.

What to try: Aperol spritz is a classic for a reason, but if you're looking to mix it up, get the strawberry aperol frosé instead ($6) — a little sweeter than the cocktail, I preferred it.

• The oysters on special rotate, but for $1 each … c'mon! A friend and I had Black Magic and Pink Moon — both were clean, sweet and delicious.

Caveat: Happy Hour has been such a success at Bocca that they ran out of ingredients to make the Italian 75 — one of three drink options on the special menu — but assured us it would be back soon.

The fine print: While Bocca had, imo, one of the most exciting happy hour menus to roll out this month, they're also taking it very literally and offering the deals for just one hour each day — plan accordingly!

If you go: 122 E. 22nd St.

• Happy hour offered daily from 5-6pm.
