Independent bars and restaurants with beer specials during happy hour in Houston, TX. 408 venues found.
Beer is the bread and butter of happy hour. $3-5 drafts, $2-4 domestics, $4-6 craft pints — standard pricing at most venues during the window. Breweries and taprooms offer the deepest discounts because they pour their own product at lower margins than bars buying from distributors. Draft specials are more common than bottles or cans. Many venues rotate which drafts are on special, so the selection changes weekly. Craft breweries typically knock $1-2 off pints, bringing $7-8 IPAs down to $5-6. Sports bars and dive bars have the cheapest absolute prices — $2-3 domestics are common. Flight specials at taprooms let you sample 4-6 beers at a per-pour discount. Monday through Thursday has the best availability. Friday deals exist but tend to run shorter windows.
