¿Qué significa $3 well drinks. Only problem is it doesn't start for two more hours. ?

A woman is talking about "happy hour" at a bar. I know what "happy hour" is.

Does she mean "You can drink plenty for 3 dollars. The only problem is that they don't start the happy hour two hours earlier"???

Thank you.

"A well drink or rail drink is an alcoholic beverage served using the lower-cost liquors stored within easy reach of the bartender in the counter 'speed rail' or well."
I looked up "well drinks" and found this! I was also confused...

"Happy hour" at a bar is a time to drink alcohol freely and one can usually purchase drinks for cheaper depending on the bar. "Happy hour" also means you can drink at an earlier time in the day, than most days.

@CarmelaG18 Yes, I know what "happy hour" is. It has actually become Japanese. My question is if I understand the sentences correctly.
But thank you anyway for your response.

Yeah, sounds like a "well drink" is the cheaper companion of the "top-shelf drink."

@CLund Thanks a lot for teaching me the name.
I tried to find what we call "well drink" in Japanese.
In ハッピーアワー (Happy hour), they serve チューハイ (chu-hai) and サワー (sour), which are mixed spirits with juice. I guess they are similar with it.
