Downtown's where my friends and I usually meet after work, so I'm always hunting for a good happy hour.
State of play: I'm sharing a few gems from a running list I've been hoarding in my Notes app.
🍒 Cherrity Bar: This Alamodome-adjacent spot offers happy hour Tuesday–Friday, 5–7pm with half-off small plates, $6 cocktails and $4 beers.
- Bonus: Saturday happy hour runs noon–2pm.
🍔 Bombay Bicycle Club: At Hemisfair, find $2 beer mugs, $4 frozen margs and $6 bean and cheese nachos Wednesday–Friday, 4–7pm.
- Don't forget Wednesday Burger Madness — classic burger and fries for $6.95, 3–9:45pm.
🍸 The Study at Dean's: A sleek, reservations-recommended lounge at the Kimpton Santo hotel with happy hour Tuesday–Friday, 4–6pm. Cocktails stay full price, but guests enjoy complimentary bites like spicy ahi tuna cones, wagyu tartare and smoked salmon tartlets.
🦪 Double Standard: Perfect for day drinkers on Houston Street. Happy hour runs 11:30am–6pm daily with $1.50 East Coast oysters, $2 select drafts, $4 double wells and $7 cocktails.
🇪🇸 Toro Kitchen and Bar: The St. Paul Square spot offers all-day happy hour on Wednesdays with $7 tapas (like patatas bravas, calamari and pan tomate), $5 house wine, $15 meat and cheese boards and more.
