About the Founder
South OC Happy Hours was founded by Teri Cronin, a South Orange County resident, single mom of four, and passionate supporter of the local restaurant community.
With a large family and a love for healthy, delicious food, Teri discovered that happy hour was often the insider’s ticket to treating her family to some of the best restaurants in South OC without sacrificing quality or relying on convenience food.
What began as a simple way to keep track of the best happy hours in the area quickly evolved into something much bigger.
As more people joined to share their own discoveries, South OC Happy Hours grew into a thriving community that connects locals with great restaurants — and with each other.
Today, Teri continues to grow South OC Happy Hours and the SOCHH VIP program alongside an incredible group of moderators, ambassadors, volunteers, and members whose enthusiasm and love for the local dining community help make it all possible.
