    Summer Happy Hour Guide

    Where to drink in Dallas right now: 10 top spots for summer happy hour

    Whitney Harris
    Jun 5, 2014 | 11:00 am

    We don’t need to sell you on happy hour. It’s the best way to end any stressful work day and kick off any fun-filled weekend. Maybe you already have a favorite spot that you hit every Thursday and Friday (and every other Wednesday for good measure). But here are some newer options to make every day of the week feel like that Pharrell song.

    Barter
    Winner of the 2014 Tastemaker Award for Best New Restaurant, Barter has some unbeatable specials Monday through Friday from 3-6 pm. It is called “3-5-7 Happy Hour,” with $3 draft beers, $5 cocktails, and $7 wines by the glass. (We recommend cashing in on the the normally priced $30 Piper-Heidsieck rosé.) You can pair your pour with sliders (two for $3) or your choice of fish, pork or steak street tacos (three for $3).

    Blind Butcher
    We welcomed Blind Butcher into the fold this past winter. Now that the meat-and-beer mecca has hit its stride, the bar-restaurant is offering $2 off drafts, specialty cocktails and wine, as well as $5 off wine bottles seven days a week from 4-6 pm. We think the Lower Greenville hot spot is worth its 24 craft beers on tap – liquid courage to try those pig ears.

    Chino Chinatown
    If you’re a little adventurous with your happy hour plans (and open to uncertainty), check out Chino Chinatown any Tuesday when the bartender mixes an ever-changing trio of cocktails for $5 each. Recent concoctions have included Montelobos Mezcal and Bruichladdich whiskey. Dealer’s choice can be a win-win.

    Gas Monkey Bar n Grill
    The Gas Monkey engine has been burning strong for the past two years. (See Fast N’ Loud on the Discovery Channel to catch our drift.) But the culinary side of the all-American experience is just getting up to speed. Weekdays from 3-7 pm, deals include $1 off tall drafts and well drinks, $3.99 queso and $3.99 artichoke hearts. Stick around and you might catch some live music.

    Ivy Tavern
    Brand spankin’ new to Lemmon Avenue — and claiming the best patio experience in Dallas — Ivy Tavern keeps it simple when it comes to happy hour. All drinks are $1 off until 8 pm every day of the week. Take it or leave it.

    Mutts Cantina
    At Mutts, four-legged friends can join in on the fun every weekday from 4-6 pm, where “Yappy Hour” deals mean $3 drinks — beer, wine and all kinds of flavored margaritas. You can saddle up to a yellow picnic table and booze for a couple of hours or bring your refreshments into the off-leash area where Fido can frolic.

    Peak & Elm Cocina Y Bar
    You can’t go wrong with complimentary margaritas (Fridays, 5-9 pm) and mimosas (Sundays, 10 am-2 pm) at Peak & Elm as you chow down on tamales and contemporary Mexican dishes. If you like to graze, go on a Tuesday (5-10 pm) when appetizers are 50 percent off. And you can BYOB any day or night of the week.

    So & So’s
    Because it replaced Primo’s, So & So’s has inherited the best patio in Uptown. To celebrate, the restaurant-bar is doing us all a solid with half-priced pizza and $1 off cocktails Monday through Friday from 4-6 pm. Enjoy it all with a side of excellent people-watching.

    Twilite Lounge
    This New Orleans-inspired venue opened last summer and breathed a bit of the Big Easy into Deep Ellum. Every day is happy hour from 4-8 pm. That means $3 domestics and wells, $5 wines, and $1 off everything else.

    Vagabond
    Lower Greenville is experiencing a renaissance of sorts, and Vagabond is doing its part with bocce ball tournaments, weekly live performances and craft beer. But if cheap thrills is the name of your game, stop by any Tuesday through Friday from 4-7 pm, when the watering hole cracks open $1.50 PBRs. Or grab a $2 Lone Star, $2 glass of champagne, $3 well drink, $5 Moscow Mule or old fashioned, or $6 glass of wine. In other words, go thirsty.

    At Ivy Tavern, all drinks are $1 off until 8 pm, seven days a week.

    Hunt County man arrested for animal cruelty to puppy from Dallas

    SPCA
    Jacob Paul Nichols arrested for animal cruelty in Hunt County, Texas.

    On Tuesday, June 17, a resident of Greenville, Texas was arrested for animal cruelty after allegedly letting a puppy starve to death.

    According to a release, Jacob Paul Nichols was arrested and charged with Texas Penal Code 42.092, Cruelty to Non-Livestock Animals (b)(1) after allegedly torturing his puppy over a span of several months, causing unjustifiable pain and suffering which ultimately resulted in her death — a felony of the third degree.

    Nichols was located and arrested in Johnson County where he was booked into Johnson County Jail and held on a $200,000 bond.

    On June 6, SPCA of Texas’ Animal Cruelty Investigations (ACI) Unit Chief Investigator was contacted by the ever-diligent Hunt County Sheriff’s Office in reference to a deceased puppy that was discovered inside a dumpster at a Greenville apartment complex.

    The small tan puppy was found lying on her side in a medium-sized crate. She was emaciated and had sharp, overgrown nails.

    An SPCA of Texas Investigator took the puppy to the SPCA's Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center for a forensic necropsy. The exam showed the puppy was 5.5 months old and weighed only 7.6 pounds when she died. She perished due to long-term starvation and dehydration, and had suffered for a prolonged period of time.

    The puppy had a microchip, which revealed that she had been adopted by a Dallas resident from a North Texas animal shelter in January 2025. The puppy, named Sandy, was rehomed to Nichols on February 13 through a rehoming website that allows potential adopters to be screened prior to rehoming. (The release does not identify the adopter or explain why the adopter was dumping the puppy after only a month of ownership.)

    Nichols signed a contract stating that he agreed to “care for the pet in a humane and responsible manner and to provide him/her with clean and adequate shelter, food, water and veterinary care.”

    The SPCA of Texas ACI Unit confirmed with Nichols that the dog had been in his care. Interviews with Nichols and other witnesses revealed evidence that the dog had been neglected over a span of months and left to die in the crate without food or water.

    “No animal deserves to suffer in silence the way this puppy did. The evidence indicates that she was trapped, neglected and ultimately starved to death over a span of months,” said SPCA of Texas’ ACI Unit Chief Investigator Courtney Burns, CAWA. “The level of cruelty in this case is staggering, and the SPCA of Texas and Hunt County Sheriff’s Office are committed to ensuring justice is served.”
