Austin Happy Hour Guide
Austin's happy hour scene is legendary — from $1 oysters at upscale bistros to $4 pints at sprawling brewery patios. The best deals typically run weekdays between 3–7pm, though several spots offer weekend happy hours too.
Pro tip: the neighborhoods of East 6th, South Lamar, and Rainey Street have the highest concentration of happy hour deals. If you want a patio, head to South Congress or East Austin for the best outdoor drinking experiences in the city.
