Best Happy Hours in Dallas

Greenville Avenue carries more listed happy hours than any street in Dallas, and its two ends behave nothing alike. At 2900 Greenville, Halcyon lists $2 off wine on weekday afternoons; a mile south at 1922, Apothecary lists $12 immersive cocktails Tuesday through Friday. Deep Ellum and downtown pick up Elm, Main and Commerce, while Bishop Arts on West Davis Street and Knox-Henderson supply the neighborhood pricing. Mayer's Garden on North Henderson Avenue lists $4 Coors OG, and on Mondays it runs all day.

Cocktails are cheaper here than in most large markets: $8 signature cocktails is the second most common listing in the city, behind $5 wells and drafts. The bottom end runs low too. The Grapevine Bar on Butler Street lists $3.50 domestic bottles with $5 wells, and Blackfriar Pub in Lakewood lists $4 drafts and $5 wells across a four-hour weekday block.

The trade-off is the calendar. Roughly one Dallas listing in twelve covers a Saturday or Sunday, so the weekend is largely a write-off, and the windows lean early, with 3 PM edging out 4 PM as the most common start. A few rooms push against both habits: Las Almas Rotas in Expo Park lists $8 agave cocktails at 5 and reopens the same deal from 10:30 to 11:45 PM, and Times Ten Cellars lists $20 bottles of rose on Sunday afternoons.
