    The Happiest Hours

    Where to drink in Dallas right now: 10 best happy hours to kick off fall

    Whitney Harris
    Sep 3, 2014 | 1:10 pm

    As we mourn the closing of craft beer innovator Union Bear, we shall take comfort in a round at the following restaurants and bars, where happy hour brings cheap drinks and eats. And, in some cases, more beer.

    Green Door Public House
    Located in the historic (and somewhat controversial) Liberty Bank building is the newly opened Green Door Public House. Swing by from 4-7 pm any weekday and get $1 off all drinks (local beers, a small selection of wines and cocktails), which work nicely to wash down grass-fed burgers, steaks, salads and seafood.

    Henderson Tap House
    The casual crowd can visit this centrally located sports bar Monday through Thursday and delve into deals like $1 off calls and wells, $5 appetizers, and half-price pizza from 4-7 pm. Other daily specials, like $10 burger-beer-bourbon combos on Mondays and $5 Blood Marys on Sundays, provide more motivation to tap into this watering hole on a regular basis.

    HG Sply Co.
    Lower Greenville is hopping with trendy places to enjoy post-work drinks. If you prefer to imbibe with a view, then head to HG Sply Co. for $3 craft beers, $5 select wines by the glass and $1 off cocktails every weekday from 4-7 pm. And you can fill up on Paleo-inspired apps for $5 without the guilt that comes with most alcohol-fueled snacking.

    Lark on the Park
    Any excuse to hang out near Klyde Warren Park is a good one — but drinking on the cheap is by far the best one. Happy hour here means $4 select draft beers and $7 select wines (you can usually choose from two red and two white) every weekday from 4-7 pm. If you’re not watching your wallet, there’s a unique Living Liquids cocktail program every Wednesday, when bartenders mix fresh-from-the-garden ingredients with Botanist gin to create specialty drinks based on your requests ($13 each).

    Palapas Seafood Bar
    If you want to feel like you’re vacationing in Mexico throughout the work week, check out this seafood spot on Lower Greenville where you can down fresh fish and traditional Mexican dishes under a classic thatched roof hut. Happy hour takes place on weekdays, 2-7 pm, and includes $3 beers; $5 margaritas; and half-price appetizers like fried calamari, guacamole and queso.

    Record Lounge
    Longtime Dallas restaurateur Peter Tarantino is hoping to make his recently inherited nightlife spot in Exposition Park a draw for any musically inclined imbibers. Regular happy hour deals — $4 wells, $3 PBR and Schlitz cans, $4 housemade sangria shots, and $6 sangria martinis — are worth a spin any Monday-Friday, 4-7 pm.

    San Salvaje
    Chosen as one of Southern Living’s 100 best restaurants in the South, Stephan Pyles’ San Salvaje takes inspiration from a range of Latin influences. The restaurant’s Monday-Friday happy hour (4-6 pm) means bar diners can order $3 beers, half-priced specialty cocktails and $6 select wines to go with those flavorful small plates.

    Scotch & Sausage
    This community beer garden and grill specializes in its namesake indulgences, as well as Belgian fries and homemade dipping sauces. The brand-new happy hour — all day Monday and 3-7 pm other weekdays — includes $3 whiskey shots of the day, $3 off all wines, $4 wells, $5 drafts and daily sangria, $6 PBR steins, and $6 craft cocktails and select calls.

    Stock & Barrel
    Chef-owner Jon Stevens
    has been wooing foodies at his Bishop Arts restaurant with his “kitchen Americana” ethos since opening in May. During happy hour on Tuesday and Wednesday (5-7 pm), anyone sitting at the bar can snag a $3 bottle of beer, $5 glass of red or white wine, and complimentary house blue cheese potato chips.

    303 Bar and Grill
    The covered patio at this Bishop Arts joint is reason enough to gather a group for its generous happy hour. There’s something for everyone (and then some) during happy hour, which is Monday-Friday, 11 am-7 pm: $2.25 domestic bottles; $2.50 Bud Light and Miller drafts; $3 import bottles, drafts and wells; $3.50 margaritas and pina coladas; $4 wells, calls and house wine. There’s also a late-night happy hour, in case the first eight hours weren’t enough.

    Guess what Scotch & Sausage specializes in.

    Aire Libre

    The Ritz-Carlton-Dallas, Las Colinas hotel has a new poolsite restaurant, just in time for summer: Called Aire Libre, it’s a Baja coastal-inspired restaurant inside the hotel at 4150 N. MacArthur Blvd. which opened in early May.

    According to a release, Aire Libre blends Texas and Baja cuisine, plus margarita flights, frozen drinks, and beer. It's open for lunch and dinner, from 11 am-10 pm.

    The menu features:

    • Brisket nachos with Dr Pepper BBQ, corn, pickled jalapenos, and chipotle crema
    • Watermelon wedge salad with ricotta, agave lime, Tajin, and mint
    • Short rib tacos with short rib birria with chips and guacamole
    • Burrito with pulled pork, pineapple salsa, pinto beans, potato, and lettuce
    • Angus smashburger with bacon, onion, tomato, American cheese, and BBQ sauce
    Dishes range from $10 for a starter to $32 for a lobster bowl.

    Cocktails include Aire Tropicale, featuring Hendrick’s gin, banana liqueur, pineapple, guava puree, lime; and Packin’ Heat with Patron silver tequila, Del Maguey Vida mezcal, Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, pineapple, lime, agave, habanero bitters, and a Tajin rim.

    For those with a taste for something frozen (like one of these icy drinks), options include a frozémade with Argyle brut rosé, Aperol, prickly pear, passionfruit, and lemon; or the Frozen Tommy’s Margarita, with Don Julio blanco tequila, lime, and agave.

    Wines are available by the glass, plus seltzers, canned and draft beers, and buckets of domestic or imported beers. Nonalcoholic drinks include the Lavanda with Lyre’s Dry London spirit, lavender, honey, lemon, pineapple and coconut water.

    The restaurant is open to the public who can avail themselves of outdoor-only seating at tables and circular blue sofas. Access to the pool, cabanas, and daybeds is for guests only, and can be booked through ResortPass.

    Aire Libre joins four other dining and bar concepts at the luxury Las Colinas hotel, including Knife Italian Steak from celebrity chef John Tesar, Bar Juniper, Outlaw Taproom, and Campo Coffee and Provisions.
