Independent bars and restaurants with apps specials during happy hour in Houston, TX. 183 venues found.
Half-price apps are the most common happy hour food deal, and for good reason. $5-8 for queso, nachos, fries, and shareable plates that normally run $12-16. A place with 5+ half-price apps and a separate drink deal will outscore one with a lone order of discounted chips. Appetizer deals work well for groups — order 3-4 apps and you have a full spread at happy hour prices. Many restaurants use their appetizer specials to show off the kitchen. Chef-driven small plates, seasonal starters, and signature dips all get steep discounts during the window. Most deals run 3-7 PM on weekdays. Weekend specials exist but are less common. At busier restaurants, bar seating sometimes gets priority for food happy hours over dining room tables.
