Explore Austin’s Exciting Happy Hour Deals for Summer Sipping

As summer sizzles in Austin, several bars and restaurants are offering enticing happy hour deals worth checking out.

Whether you’re in the mood for cocktails, beer, or something refreshing, you’re sure to find a spot that suits your taste.

At Bar Hacienda, newly opened in June beneath Tiger Lilly, patrons can enjoy an irresistible deal—three cocktails for just $20 from 5 to 6:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

With a focus on inventive infusions, customers can choose from any cocktail on the menu, including unique options like a white negroni made with chamomile gin or a Sazerac that features banana whiskey.

However, there’s a twist: due to legal restrictions, the bar can only serve two drinks to a single patron, which means you’ll need to bring a buddy to fully take advantage of this fantastic offer.

Just a short distance away, Holiday on 7th is serving up a refreshing frozen Mexican martini for only $6 from 5 to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and all day Sunday.

Claiming to have invented this delightful drink, the East Austin bar ensures customers have the perfect way to cool off during the summer heat.

Unlike many sugary frozen drinks, the addition of olive brine balances the sweetness, making it a perfect choice for those sunny afternoons.

For cocktail enthusiasts, The Local ATX offers classic drinks for a mere $6 during their happy hour, which runs from 2 to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

The mid-century modern bar, known for its cozy booth seating, serves a variety of cocktails including negronis, old fashioneds, and daiquiris.

As these classic cocktails are usually priced at $10 or more, this four-hour happy hour is an excellent opportunity to indulge in your favorites.

Additionally, Bill’s Oyster presents a deal that combines quality and taste with a $10 smashburger and a martini—also priced at $10—available from 3 to 5:30 p.m., every day of the week.

The burger is crafted from brisket and short ribs, topped with tomato, onion, American cheese, and a special sauce that includes pickled okra.

While its regular price is $21, the happy hour rate is a steal, making it a staple for both foodies and cocktail lovers alike.

Don’t miss out on the crab hushpuppies served with a fantastic horseradish dipping sauce while enjoying this unbeatable deal.

Finally, for beer lovers, Lil’ Easy offers the best price in town, with $1 Miller Highlife available from 4 to 6 p.m., every day.

In addition to the $1 brews, guests can sip on refreshing $5 Pimm’s cups or enjoy half-off frozen drinks during the same time frame.

For those unfamiliar, Pimm’s is a gin-based liqueur mixed with ginger ale and lemon juice, making it an ideal choice for a hot summer day.

Whether you’re looking for cocktails, beer, or a delicious burger, Austin’s happy hour scene has something to offer for everyone this summer.
