Unless you are planning the event or know someone who works at the bar, don’t be the first person in the group to show up at a happy hour.  It will look like you are such a loser that this happy hour is the highlight of your week and you were so eager for it that you wanted to be sure to get there first.  Being the last to leave is much more acceptable than being the first to arrive.  If you are the last one to leave, it generally means that you met some new people, hopefully women, and are enjoying their company.
