1 Drink for the Price of 2? In Belgium, 'Helpy Hour' Aims to Give Pubs a Boost

Campaign hopes to reinvigorate bars after lockdown

Europeans really like pubs. It’s where many spend quality time on the weekends (or the occasional boozy weeknight) drinking pints and catching up with friends.

As Belgium emerges from lockdown, these community hubs will once again be able to open next week, after months without income.
