Dallas’ 10 Best Happy Hours — From a Lower Greenville Spot’s New Two-Room Experience to Uptown Haunts

An Uptown staple since 2014, Bowen House serves one of the best seasonally rotating cocktail menus in Dallas. You can find a selection of them during Happy Hour every day from 4 pm to 6 pm for $9 each. The menu also includes glasses of wine for $10, bottles & cans of beer for $4, and an assortment of bites (shrimp cocktail ($15), the cheeseburger ($10), house olives ($10), and Spanish croquettes ($10).

From Greg Katz (Beverley’s, Green Point, Claremont), this Fitzhugh Avenue cocktail bar does a fantastic Happy Hour from Tuesday through Sunday from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Drinks range from $10 to $14 for classics like a margarita, an Old Fashioned, and the Club Martini. For bites, get the “Kid’s Meal” for $20 (a mini smashburger, fries, any HH cocktail, and a cigarette). You’ll also find other bites including avocado dip, spicy tuna crispy rice, and steak frites.

Recently expanded into a two-room experience in Lower Greenville, this innovative cocktail bar and restaurant offers an extensive Happy Hour menu until 6:30 pm daily. You’ll find $12 “Over the Counter” cocktails, $10 Classics, and BOGO Ponies & shots. Some of the spot’s most popular dishes are also half-price during HH, including the Icelandic Hot Dog, caviar chip, beef cheek tacos, and APO Burger.

One of the best sushi restaurants in Dallas, Uchi has some great Happy Hour deals from 4 pm to 6 pm every day. For one, you can enjoy a nine-course omakase for two for $120. A few signature cocktails cost $11, while a selection of wine is $9 by the glass, and Sapporo Premium is $6. There are also tons of nigiri, handrolls, hot tastings, cool tastings, and a pistachio sando for dessert available.

One of our favorite new Dallas spots, this Bishop Arts cocktail bar comes from the owners of The Old Monk, Skellig, and Spider Murphy’s. The menu features 14 signature cocktails — all $9 (normally $16 to $17) from Tuesday through Friday, from 5 pm to 7 pm. We highly recommend the popular Santa Muerte with San Dimas Pechuga mezcal, Montenegro, peach, lemon, and serrano hot honey. If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, we also love the Yellow Led-Pepper — a tequila-based drink with yellow Chartreuse, Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, lime, roasted bell pepper, and thyme.

This East Hampton-inspired restaurant has long been a favorite Happy Hour spot in Dallas. At the bar only, from 3 pm to 6 pm on weekdays, you can get half-price martinis (we highly recommend The Espresso) and Bellinis, as well as wine by the glass. East Coast oysters also cost $3 each, while their beloved cheeseburger is only $10.

This Tex-Mex restaurant in Uptown is known for its great patio, but it also serves a solid Happy Hour from Monday through Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm. Cocktails like the El Diablo, House Margarita, Ranch Water, and more are just $8.50, while bites such as tacos, tamale, Gordita, and more are $9.25.

A cool 1970s throwback-themed cocktail bar in Dallas’ Design District, Double D’s does Happy Hour right with $7 cocktails and wine from Wednesday through Sunday from 5 pm to 8 pm. Options include the spot’s popular Victor Tango, Old Fashioned, Whiskey Drink, Blood Orange Breeze, and more.

Celebrate Happy Hour at the recently revamped Meridian at The Village Dallas from 4:30 pm to 7 pm, Wednesday through Friday. The specials are only available at the bar, lounge, and patio, but they’re worth it for $10 specialty cocktails, $8 house wines, $6 bottled beer, half-price one-hitters, and a $17 Buzzed & Aged Burger.

Travis Street Hospitality‘s latest concept in Preston Center recently introduced Happy Hour on Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm. During this time, the menu features $3 oysters, $10 each for dishes like the Frenchie Smash Burger, crispy pig ears, and chicken wings, $10 classic cocktails, and a selection of half-price wines.
