Parliament Dallas

Cocktail Bar // Downtown Dallas

This is our 100% GO TO HAPPY HOUR when we visit Dallas. Their happy hour is probably one of the best in Dallas if not THE best. Amazing cocktails at awesome prices, andddd they’re actually amazingly well done. It’s a tiny space though, so make sure to get there right when they open to snag a spot!

Happy Hour: Monday (all day) to Saturday 4pm to 7pm with $6-$7 cocktails and $15 wines

Dakota’s Restaurant

Romantic Date Night Happy Hour // Downtown Dallas

While the happy hour itself doesn’t seem striking, it honestly is when you know how nice and fancy Dakota’s actually is! It’s the best little date night happy hour to impress a special someone without going entirely broke. Hopefully, they appreciate a good deal right with you! And then if you are wanting to stay, you can enjoy their incredible steak after happy hour!

Happy Hour: Weekdays 4pm to 6pm with $6 wells and beers, $7 wines, and $12 cocktails

The Rustic

Beer Garden + Patio // Uptown, Dallas

One of the best happy hours in Dallas for groups! They have TONS of space, and their gorgeous patio is dog friendly. Makes hanging out with your friends for happy hour so much more fun. Plus the food is delicious, which explains why they’re also on our Best Brunches in Dallas list!

Happy Hour: Daily 3pm to 6pm with half-price Rustic Waters and half price other apps

The Standard Pour

Outdoor Patio // Uptown, Dallas

Another classic happy hour I used to visit all the time! Standard Pour is right in the heart of Uptown, and their happy hour is ALWAYS busy because it’s just so good! They have a cute little outdoor patio and a large indoor cozy space too, depending on what you’re looking for. But this was my perfect hang-out-with-friends-after-work happy hour!

Happy Hour: Daily 5pm – 7pm and All Monday with $5 cocktails and beers, and $7 wines by the glass

Local Tap + Table

Outdoor Patio // Uptown, Dallas

If you want something more chill and dont care about the “cutest place ever” then absolutely go for hapyp hour at Local Tap! It’s a two story beer hall with gorgeous treeline views of the Katy Trail and has a stunning Dallas skyline. Talk about feeling like you’re in a treehouse!

Happy Hour: $5 Fridays from 4pm – Close with $5 well drink options

Quarter Bar

Outdoor Rooftop // Uptown, Dallas

As you can now guess, this is mostly a list of my favorite Dallas bars because you simply can’t be my favorite without having a good happy hour. Quarter Bar is a gem! A huge indoor space and an outdoor rooftop patio to pair with it. Plus a great happy hour until 7pm with $5 drinks! The only thing that would make this better would be parking…OH AND THEY HAVE IT! Well, free valet. Good enough.

Happy Hour: Weekday happy hour 3pm-7pm with $3 wells, $5 domestics, $5 beers & wines as well as other daily specials

Double Wide

Dive Bar // Deep Ellum, Dallas

Tuesday – Friday 4pm – 7pm with varying drink specials

Thunderbird Station

Outdoor Patio // Deep Ellum, Dallas

Obviously I do love a good patio, as you can tell from this list! But Thunderbird Station is a great spot for fun unique cocktails like their “Junkyard Dog” or their Crush Grape Soda. Plus they’ve got good food, so if someone in your group wants a bite with their happy hour then this is a solid spot to choose!

Happy Hour: Weekdays 4pm – 7pm with $5 peel outs, $3 frosty mug domestics, and $3 lil buddies AND reverse happy hour on weekdays from 11pm to 2am as well

Stirr

Rooftop Views // Deep Ellum, Dallas

Obviously a favorite by many Dallasites and probably a spot you’ve heard of before! BUT did you know their happy hour is actually pretty great. The downstairs of Stirr features a gorgeous dining room, great for groups. But then climb up the stairs and you’ll see the gorgeous rooftop views that Stirr has to offer!

Happy Hour: Weekdays 3pm – 6pm with 1/2 off all drinks, $6 wines, and $5 beers

Libertine Bar

Cocktail Bar // Lower Greenville, Dallas

So the Libertine Bar just underwent some remodeling, but it’s been a favorite of mine LONG before! Beyond the way it looks, their happy hour is constantly a delight and a good deal. It’s low key and unassuming, which means it’s not going to feel like youre in Uptown and I personally love that. It’s just where you go for a good drink and a chill time with friends!

ALSO lemme just say, I love when a spot makes two lists and in this case Libertine is also on my Best Brunches in Dallas list!

Happy Hour: Tuesday to Friday 4pm – 7pm with $6 cocktails, half-off bottles of wine

HG Suply Co Dallas

Rooftop Bar // Knox Henderson, Dallas

One of my favorites! Beautiful upstairs patio with views of downtown, very spacious spot. This is my go-to for larger groups of friends for happy hour (i.e the spot for birthday parties or coworker happy hours) because it’s SO huge and there is lots of room for mingling. And the rooftop view is simply gorgeous!

Happy Hour: Weekdays 3pm – 6pm with discounted cocktails, beers, and wines

Sundown at Granada

Rooftop Bar // Lower Greenville, Dallas

Another spot that makes the Brunch List and Best Happy Hour in Dallas list!! We’re impressed. I love Sundown at Granada fora weekend brunch spot and good mimosa deal so much, but it’s also a good spot for a general happy hour with friends! It’s bright and airy with good food and lots of space, and then they have their second story “Rooftop” to pair with it, which is ideal on a beautiful day in Dallas!

Happy Hour: Weekdays until 6pm and Sunday 10am – 4pm with $4 Drafts, $6 Craft Cocktails, & $6 House Wines and $2 Mimosas on Sundays

Smoky Rose

Outdoor Patio Bar // White Rock Lake, Dallas

Smoky Rose is a White Rock Lake BEAUTY, as you can tell from the photos. Explains why it’s also on my Most Romantic Restaurants in Dallas list becuase how could it not be. We love their beautiful patio and their green grass atmosphere. And it’s huge, so it’s a great spot for groups. AND to top it all off, they’ve got a delicious Smoky Savage Hibiscus Margarita that will delight you on a hot day.

Happy Hour: Weekdays 3pm – 6pm with $6 beer and wine and staple cocktails

Tiny Victories

Cocktail Bar // Oak Cliff, Dallas

If you want a killer cocktail for happy hour, then both Tiny Victories and Parliament are going to be your favorites from this list. Their cocktails are incredibly well executed and can’t be beat for the price! Classic cocktails are normally $11 and speciality cocktails range in price, but are half off during their happy hour.

Happy Hour: Tuesday to Saturday 4pm to 7pm with 1/2 Off Everything at the Bar

Stratos Bar and Grill

Outdoor Patio // Love Field, Dallas

A bit far actually, but their good deals and nice patio make it worth the trip! It’s a pretty low key unassuming spot, but it’s a delight none the less. Known for their greek and latin menu, but also known for their yummy margaritas and solid happy hour! And of course, their cutie patio.

Happy Hour: Weekdays 4pm – 7pm with $3 wells and margaritas, 50% off wine, and $5 apps

Inwood Tavern

Dive Bar // Love Field, Dallas

This is, in my opinion, one of the best happy hours in the entirety of Dallas. It’s just a pretty low key spot and more of a dive bar, nothing insanely special. But it’s always a delight. You have great deals, a cute patio to hang out on, and live music every once in a while. It’s the kind of spot where you go a lot and have a “usual” and I love that about it.

Happy Hour: Daily until 7pm with $3 domestics and $5 wells

Bowl and Barrel

Bowling and Games // The Shops at Park Lane, Dallas

And of course had to add a fun little bowling spot onto this list! You can enjoy a solid happy hour drink and some happy hour snacks while hitting up the bowling alley. AND it’s one of my recommendations for a fun date night idea in Dallas too!

Happy Hour: Happy hour is from 3 – 6 pm daily where food is $3 at 3pm, $4 at 4pm, and $5 at 5pm


Thanks for checking out this list of best happy hours in dallas! These beautiful happy hours spots have great deals, great hours, and soooo much more based off whatever category you want! I absolutely recommend them all, and no matter which you pick you’ll have a great time.
