    The happy hour scene in Dallas is so hot right now, with four brand new HHs that have just been introduced. A fifth offering features a magical drink that changes colors before your eyes.

    Here are the best new happy hours for March:

    Prim and Proper
    Restaurant concept at Legacy West in Plano has a new happy hour with discounts on drinks and sharable dishes. Charcuterie and cheese board is $10. Hummus plate is $6. Avocado toast is $6. "The Goods" burger is $5, and French fries are $2. Wines are $5, including Reata Three County Pinot Noir and Joseph Drouhin Bourgogne Laforet Chardonnay. Beers are $3. Select cocktails, including a mule, French 75, "the cure, and an old-fashioned, are $7. Hours: Monday-Friday 4-7 pm.

    Tulum
    Upscale coastal Mexican restaurant has launched its first happy hour featuring $7 small plates and drink specials. "Flutes" are corn tortillas with white chicken, chihuahua cheese, and potato with creamy avocado. Chicken tamal has chihuahua cheese, red chile guajillo, and serrano salsa verde. A vegan ceviche has portabella, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, jicama, serrano peppers, and beets with plantain chips. There's also avocado with French radish chips. Cocktails and wine are also $7 and include a margarita with fresh lime juice on the rocks; house wells; and red or white house wines. Bottled beers are $5. Hours: Monday-Friday 5-7 pm.

    Uchi/Uchiba
    The two-restaurants-in-one both have what they describe as a "next level" happy hour program, available only in Dallas and not at the homebase restaurants in Austin. Ha ha, Dallas wins. Uchi's "Sushi + Sake" offering includes sushi, maki, sake, beer, and wine, priced between $2-10. Sakes are $3-10. Uchiba's "Whisky + Wagyu" happy hour features coveted Wagyu beef and Japanese whisky cocktails for $3-$10, including a Wagyu skewer with bulgogi and lemon zest; Wagyu tartare maki with fried bonito and avocado, and a Wagyu mini burger with white cheddar, pickles, and caramelized onions. Hours: Daily from 5-6:30 pm.

    Vidorra
    Mexican restaurant and rooftop bar in Deep Ellum features a different weekday special on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Monday, it's half price margaritas all day, including one with Lunazul Tequila, frozen or on the rocks, for $4. Tuesdays, it's an $8 taco board with complimentary tequila. Thursdays are a reverse happy hour from 9 pm-2 am.

    Yard House
    The restaurant has a new color-changing Magic Margarita that transforms from blue to purple before your eyes. The cocktail base is Don Julio Blanco, infused overnight with butterfly pea flower. When you pour in a sidecar of citrus agave, the acidity triggers a color change, from purply-blue to purple-pink. Ooooh. The drink is regularly $12.95, but it's $2 off during happy hour. Hours: Monday-Friday 3-6 pm, late-night Sunday-Thursday 9:30-11 pm.

    Chocho versus Chi Chi: 2 buzzy Asian restaurants open north of Dallas

    Chocho Hot Pot

    You don't judge a book by its cover, nor should you judge a restaurant by its name. But when two international restaurants with eerily identical names both open in the Dallas area within the same week, it calls for a this-versus-that comparison of what the two concepts represent.

    We bring you Chi Chi versus Chocho:

    Chi Chi Young Dabang
    Korean gaming bar & karaoke experience is now open in Carrollton, at 3044 Old Denton Rd. #131, in the former Merkado Tex-Mex.

    Chi Chi was founded in 2011 in the bustling nightlife district of Hongdae, Seoul. The goal was to create a bar that stood out from other pubs in the area. Instead of focusing solely on drinks, Chi Chi integrated gourmet small-plate dining, engaging entertainment, and a lively social environment.

    In 2023, they opened their first U.S. location in Los Angeles, and now they're debuting in Dallas.

    Chi Chi describes itself as an immersive social experience with food, drinks, and interactive entertainment. Chi Chi has gained popularity for its unique approach to nightlife, offering a combination of Korean cuisine, club ambiance, and a state-of-the-art digital entertainment system.

    Each table is equipped with a tablet, allowing guests to order food and drinks, play games, chat with other tables, and win prizes. This innovative system transforms a typical night out into an interactive and unforgettable experience.

    Their signature dish is Korean fried chicken and soju cocktails, combined with private karaoke rooms, and retro and modern Games.

    Chocho Hot Pot
    New all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant is now open in Frisco at 8250 Gaylord Pkwy. #5, in the former Irish Rover Pub.

    Chocho is a sibling to The Dolar Shop, an international hot pot chain with locations in New York, Seattle, British Columbia, Canada, and Australia. The two concepts both do hot pot, with a modern, indulgent spin, in a classy setting.

    Chocho debuted in Vancouver in 2023, and has two locations in British Columbia. plus a third location in the U.S., in the Houston area in Katy where it opened in June 2025.

    Diners get their own personal hot pot, and can select ingredients from a rotating buffet with more than 50 items including vegetables, seafood, pulled noodles, and sauces. A dozen meat options include as ribeye and pork belly, plus vegan fish cake. You also choose your broth from a selection of 10 that includes pork, spicy Sichuan, sukiyaki, tom yum, mushroom, and tomato vegan.

    One cool thing is that the pricing changes depending on time: Regular pricing is $49 per person, but it drops to $40 after 9 pm.

    Another cool thing is that, if you order their "premium" all you can eat, they'll charge for leftovers.
