Where to find happy hour in East Austin
July 20, 2026
East Austin has more happy hours than any other part of town — 133 places and counting. Here’s a starting point if you don’t know where to begin.
If you want food, not just drinks
- Blue Lacy (at Origin Hotel Austin) - half off appetizers and signature cocktails, plus a $15 meatloaf dinner, 4 to 7 PM
- Austin Daily Press - half off hushpuppies, 4 to 7 PM
- Buenos Aires Café - the $9 Mini Mila, 3 to 6 PM
If you’re there to drink
- Austin Garden & Studio at Inn Cahoots - $5 off cocktails and wells, $2 off beer, 4 to 6 PM
- Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse (Mueller) - $1 off beer and wine, 3 to 6 PM
- Blue Owl Brewing - $3 featured pint, and it runs until 10 PM
If you want something nicer
Bar Toti is the outlier on this list at $$$, and its happy hour runs unusually long — 5 to 10 PM — with $2 off wines by the glass and the signature cocktails, and half off the smashburgesas.
Not drinking?
Daydreamer puts Peroni 0.0% on special at $6, which is a rarer thing to find than it should be.
Happy hour days and times shift more often than anyone would like, so treat this as a starting list rather than a schedule. Use Zappy to check what’s actually running in East Austin right now.
