I don't mind going to work happy hours, but since I swapped from being a backend applications developer to SRE, I've been a lot busier at work/having to work later hours. As a result, I've been the person saying no to happy hours. I don't know if you should feel pressure to go. It helps develop office rapport, but I also feel like if you have good rapport with your team and your immediate manager, you should be ok. If there's upper management going to some of these happy hours, it might be wise to just pop in every so often to make yourself known to them.
