    Happy Hour News

    Summer's here, and it's time for Where to Drink, CultureMap's monthly column spotlighting best cocktails, happy hours, and special drinks. This edition includes seven happy hours, from poolside bars to secret all-day-happy-hour finds. There's also news of a fun new mixology class at a downtown Dallas hotel bar.

    Here's where to drink in Dallas for July:

    The Adolphus 
    Downtown Dallas hotel hosts a poolside happy hour Sunday-Thursday from 4-6 pm, featuring two discounted cocktails and private cabanas for rent. Two cocktails are half off: the 818 margarita on the rocks and the Sweet Escape with 818 Tequila, prickly pear shrub, blood orange liqueur, and lime. The drinks are regularly $18 but are $9 during happy hour. (The pool menu is here.) Note: It costs $50 for a daypass, and the cabanas are $300 for six people — but hey, a drink discount is a drink discount.

    Ellie’s Restaurant & Lounge 
    Restaurant at the Hall Arts Hotel in Dallas' Arts District has a new "Summer Fridays" happy hour beginning July 11, and running every Friday through Labor Day weekend, from 2:30-5 pm. It's half-off summer cocktails, wine, and beer, plus light bites with tunes from live DJ sets.

    Elm Street Cask and Kitchen 
    Downtown Dallas restaurant at the Hilton Garden Inn has a weekday happy hour Monday-Friday from 4-6 pm with $9 cocktails, $5 draft beer, $5 well highballs, and $4 house wine. Bites feature fried green tomatoes, chicken fried Brussels sprouts, and Cajun spiced sweet potato fries, starting at $5. The same specials can be had at a late night happy hour on Thursdays from 9-11 pm.

    Hinodeya 
    Acclaimed Japanese ramen restaurant on Greenville Avenue might seem like an unexpected choice for a Where to Drink roundup, but they're actually a secret find, because they have a happy hour that runs all day. On Monday-Thursday, from 11 am-11 pm, they have $5 drink specials featuring beer, wine, and sake. Wednesdays they have half off wine bottles.

    Kalamaki Greek 
    Greek restaurant in Anna from owner Reza rt Tafa and his family serving soups, salads, and gyros opened in March 2024, only recently added alcohol, namely beer and wine including labels from Greece — and at a discount, all summer long: Wine by the glass is $6 and all beers are $4.

    The Parlor 
    Downtown Dallas Sheraton hotel bar is hosting a guided cocktail-making class every Monday with Mixology Mondays. It’s open to both visitors and hotel guests and led by the hotel’s in-house mixologist featuring a step-by-step of cocktails such as an old fashioned or a mojito. The event is 21 and up, tickets are $30. Classes are every Monday from 5-6 pm.

    Table 13 
    Addison cocktail lounge has a new weekday happy hour featuring discounted cocktails, beer, and wine. Old fashioneds and martinis are $7, wine and spirits are $2 off, and beer is $1 off. Snacks, too: Appetizers including spinach artichoke dip, prime beef sliders, peppered prime meatballs, and New Orleans BBQ shrimp are $3 off. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 4-7 pm.

    Ten Bells Tavern 
    Recently reopened cat-obsessed tavern in Bishop Arts is back with a bang. It closed due to demolition for new apartments in 2022, and it has since reopened in a new space at 231 W. Eighth St. They have a weekday happy hour featuring $5 wells, drafts and cans, and $6 appetizers like hummus or chips and curry. For $5, you can get five wings. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 3-7 pm.
