Happy Hour at Zinc Café Offers a Stylish Spot to Unwind in Old Towne Orange

If you’re looking for a slightly more elevated happy hour in the City of Orange, Zinc Café & Market offers a relaxed, European-style atmosphere right in the heart of the Plaza.

Zinc’s happy hour leans into lighter, shareable bites and simple, well-crafted drinks. Expect options like truffle fries, small plates, house wines, and beer combinations, all designed for a more laid-back, sit-and-stay experience rather than a quick stop. The setting itself plays a big role — with a cozy patio and clean, modern interior, it’s a spot that feels a little more tucked away from the usual bustle of the Circle.

It’s a great option for a casual date, a quieter meet-up, or an early evening reset after work, especially if you’re looking for something that feels a bit different from typical bar-style happy hours. The vibe is more café-meets-wine-bar, making it easy to linger and ease into the evening.

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM, and Sundays from 4 PM to close at Zinc Café & Market, 195 South Glassell Street in Old Towne Orange
