September is here, and a new month means it's time for another episode of Where to Drink: the happy hour edition. A cocktail, beer, or glass of wine tastes nice at any price, but there's no denying it tastes a little sweeter when it's a deal.

Here's the latest new happy hours being served up at Dallas bars:

Local
Acclaimed chef-driven Deep Ellum eatery has launched its first happy hour, which is unique because it runs not only on the usual weekdays you expect a happy hour, but Saturday, too. It include light bites such as spring pea guacamole, turnovers, flatbreads, and a "Bottle & Board" special for $25 featuring charcuterie and a bottle of red or white wine. Short rib sandwiches on Texas toast with fingerling potato chips are $10. Tempura broccolini with spicy dipping sauce is $8. And a cheese plate with goat cheese, fig & pear chutney, and crostini is $8. Tuesday-Saturday 5-7 pm.

Ocean Prime Dallas
Upscale restaurant in Uptown Dallas has a new menu in its lounge with smoked Gouda tater tots, King crab legs, hamachi crudo sushi roll, pear-grapefruit fizz cocktail, and more. During the Lounge Happy Hour, you get $5 off snacks plus special pricing on beer, wine, and cocktails. Monday-Friday 4-7 pm. There's also a special deal on Thursdays featuring oysters topped with frozen granita and glasses of Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs or Rosé: half price.

Paul Martin's Grill
Shmoozy Park Cities hangout has a new menu for its happy hour with dishes such as: Southwest veggie street tacos with sweet potato, corn, onion, and poblano; Buffalo cauliflower bites with celery and Danish blue cheese dressing; mushroom flatbread with roasted garlic, red peppers, white cheddar, and arugula; and steakhouse poutine with smashed potatoes, provolone, parmesan, gruyère, and gravy. Come on, those all sound pretty good, and they're all priced from $7-$10. New wines by the glass inclue Belle Glos La Alturas Pinot Noir, Rombaur Chardonnay, and The Prisoner Red Blend. Monday-Friday, 3-7 pm.

Sidecar Social
Newest concept by North Texas restaurateur Brent Tipps at Addison's Village on the Parkway has a "social hour" Monday-Friday until 6 pm with $4 call drinks, half-off house wine by the glass, and half-off flatbreads. They also have daily specials including half-price wine bottles on Mondays; $3 domestic draft on Tuesdays; $5 martinis on Wednesdays; $5 draft cocktails on Thursdays; and a late-night special of half-price flatbreads from 10 pm to close.

Toller Patio Kitchen + Bar
Newly opened Ross Avenue bar has unveiled a happy hour following its recent opening. Signature tapped cocktails are $6 and include the Pink Drink with vodka, strawberry and lemon; and Basil Smash with gin, lime, yuzu and Thai basil. Dos Equis and Miller Lite on draft are $3, and well drinks are $5. Discounted snacks and shareable bites include chips & queso, pimento cheese, Buffalo dip, hummus, and wings.

Hello Cupcake

Bring on the cake baking: SusieCakes, the home-style bakery concept from California, will soon open a location in the West Village at 3699 McKinney Ave. Ste. 318, in Uptown Dallas. The grand opening celebration is set for Saturday, October 3.

The West Village store was first announced in July, along with a location in Frisco's Fields West.

It is the fourth Dallas-Fort Worth location following Preston Center, Hillside Village in East Dallas, and Fort Worth's WestBend.

Founder Susie Sarich first opened SusieCakes bakery in 2006 in Los Angeles' Brentwood neighborhood, and there are now locations throughout California, from San Diego to San Francisco. SusieCakes offers an alternative to the artificial flavors and preservatives found in most grocery store cakes by using fresh, simple ingredients by on-site bakers, the company says.

The bakery has developed a loyal following for its Vanilla Celebration Cake, custom layer cakes, cupcakes topped with buttercream frosting, and nostalgic treats such as chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, and flourless peanut butter cookies. Seasonal cakes and desserts also rotate throughout the year. For fall, think crumble-topped fruit pies baked in flaky crusts and holiday-inspired desserts.

Sarich says she's excited about the new Dallas location.

“Opening in West Village is a wonderful next step as we continue to grow SusieCakes in Dallas,” she says in the release. “As a Dallas resident, it’s been special to see firsthand how warmly the community has embraced SusieCakes. West Village is such a vibrant neighborhood, and we look forward to welcoming guests in and being part of even more celebrations, both big and small.”

SusieCakes' West Village Grand Opening Celebration will take place 12-3 pm Saturday, October 3, with special giveaways, music, samples, and an opportunity to say "hello" to Sarich in person.

The bakery will be open from 10 am-7 pm on opening day, with festivities including:

  • Free SusieCakes mugs for the first 50 guests, beginning at 10 am. with purchase, limited to one per guest
  • A raffle for the chance to win free cake for a year
  • The opportunity to meet Susie Sarich in person
  • DJ tunes and complimentary samples from 12-3 pm

The ever expanding confectioner also offers delivery both national and local at susiecakes.com.
