Austin has no shortage of gems for the happy hours, and after 25+ years in Austin, our co-founder Claire is sharing her 5 favorite go-to spots for the happiest time of day.
- Hank’s: With lots of natural light, a patio and drive through Hank’s in Windsor Park is easily a go-to. Offering happy hour from 3-6:30pm daily (such generous hours!), you won’t want to miss the discounts on cocktails, wine, beer & apps.
- Peached Tortilla: Peached Tortilla holds a special place in Claire’s heart as she and her husband selected this gem to cater their wedding (and I can attest it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had). Stop by Tuesday-Sunday from 5-7pm for discounted drinks, tacos, snacks & burgers.
- Bar Toti: This bistro was inspired by the bar cultures of Spain, France & Mexico. Any artist will appreciate the handmade pieces from makers that furnish the space. Happy hour is available all day Monday, Sunday-Thursday 5-6pm, Friday-Saturday 10-11pm with ½ off burgers, $2 off cocktails & wine.
- Better Half: Located downtown, with lots parking around back, Better Half offers a wide range of food and drinks. Happy hour is available 3-6pm Tuesday-Friday, 4-10pm Sunday and includes $6 Sangria, $6 Cheeseburgers & more. Fun fact, Better Half is where I first proposed the idea of becoming business partners to Claire!
- LoLo: This relaxed but trendy natural wine bar on East 6th offers happy hour from 4-6pm Monday through Friday with $2 off glass pours and $1 off package beer.
