Wallet feeling a little empty after all that back-to-school shopping? Happy hour to the rescue. This edition of Where to Drink, our monthly roundup of the best bar specials, is here to provide you with five spots where your drinking dollars stretch a little further, especially during that magic time known as happy hour.

Here's where to drink in Dallas this month:

At Fault
Family-owned sports bar with indoor pickleball court has a serious food program overseen by chef John Franke (Sixty Vines, Whiskey Cake) to fuel players fresh off the court. Think loaded nachos, Philly cheesesteaks, and Wagyu dogs in a blanket. The bar, meanwhile, is mixing up 16 specialty cocktails, wines by the glass, plus draft and can beers. Even better: Most of these drinks are really cheap during happy hour. On Texas Thursdays, it's $4 off Texas beers and spirits; Smashburger Mondays pairs $4 drafts with $4 burgers; Wine & Dine Wednesday gets you half-off all bottles of wine; and regular ol' happy hour brings $4 draft beers and $5 house wines and wells.

Palma
Deep Ellum Tex-Asian restaurant and bar debuted in May alongside sister bar Ghost Donkey, which specializes in tequila and mezcal. On the menu for its generous happy hour are $5 select drafts, select wines for $8, prosecco for $7, a frozen margarita for $7, and a trio of cocktails in the $8-$9 range. The best part? Happy hour runs Monday-Friday from 11 am-7 pm, meaning anytime is the right time for an espresso martini.

Taco Ocho
Small local chain touting a "Latin Love" of tacos also loves cheap. During its happy hour, which you can indulge in Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm and all day on the weekends, you'll find $5 house margaritas, $4 Modelo and Dos Equis drafts, $4 wells, and $6 house wines (two white and two red). Tack on a $4 mimosa to your weekend chilaquiles if you're a brunch purist. Three locations include Flower Mound, Frisco, and McKinney.

Tasty Tails
Authentic New Orleans restaurant in Addison is the place to get your happy hour fix with a Cajun twist. On weekdays Monday-Friday from 3-7 pm, they serve both food and drink at hefty discounts: $3 bottled beers, including Abita Purple Haze and Shiner Bock; $6 well drinks and $6 frozen daiquiris; $7 mojitos; and $10 hurricanes. Bites are cheap too: $4 hushpuppies and French fries, $7 Cajun wings, $5 jamabalaya egg rolls and $5 for a half-pound of boiled shrimp.

Whiskey Cake
American restaurant is hosting a lineup of immersive experiences for bourbon lovers during September. Every Wednesday they're offering $7 neat pours and flights for $15 — featuring a rotating selection of barrel picks, including local whiskeys and cask-finished bourbons. On Friday-Saturday from 6-9 pm, they're doing tableside Old Fashioned carts during dinner in partnership with Clyde May’s Alabama-style whiskey. Guests can choose from Straight Rye Whiskey, Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Original Alabama Style Whiskey or Straight Bourbon Special Reserve — served neat, on a Big Rock, or smoked. Select cocktails will also be made tableside.
