The Best Happy Hours In Austin
Austin Happy Hours: Every weekday, there’s the time when you’ve accomplished all of your work or have read through the entire web. At that point, it’s time to take yourself to the closest establishment offering drinks at a price that you’re actually entitled to spend.
While it is always a good idea to drink, however, the more upscale Happy Hour involves deals on great drinks and delicious food. The good news is that Austin offers a variety of these. Here’s our list of the top Happy Hours in Austin that will help you through the week.
Austin might be located situated in Texas however, the prices aren’t necessarily the norm in the state. From real estate to dog daycare, it’s like we were living in Silicon Valley! The $15 cocktails aren’t something that many of us had in mind as we made the move to or anticipated as children within The Lone Star State, right?
