    Indulging in booze and bar bites is always a good time, but never more so than during happy hour when festive cocktails, a variety of vinos, and savory menu selections are on special.

     

    After a long day at work, pull up a bar stool and peruse the new happy hour deals at these Houston hot spots, which offer plenty of bargain eats and drinks for all.

     

     1751 Sea and Bar
    Find seafood and much more on the happy hour menu at 1751 Sea and Bar helmed by executive chef Lyle Bento. Available every Tuesday through Saturday from 4-6 pm, Gulf oysters will set you back a buck each and a revolving menu of daily crudo from the ice bar is a cool $5. Drinking while dining is highly encouraged, because the expansive bar menu featuring signature G&Ts, martinis, and wines by the glass are half off during this time.

     

     a'Bouzy
    This spirited River Oaks restaurant serves as an exciting happy hour destination with its ever-changing menu of seasonal bites and beverages available every Thursday from 3-6:30 pm. Menu selections may feature tuna tartare with spicy aioli or steamed black mussels, saucy with garlic lemon-butter, and should most definitely be paired with a French rosé or Italian rouge classico — each just $4 per glass.

     

     BB Lemon
    Dine and drink during “Lemon Hour” at buzzy BB Lemon, made available Monday through Friday from 3-6 pm. Fun and flavorful bar bites like the house-made beer cheese topped Frito pie and Texas wagyu hot dogs are only $6; and in addition to $8 craft cocktails, all of the wines listed on the bar menu are discounted $2.

     

     Doris Metropolitan
    The famed bread service, feta-topped tomato salad with the fruit presented four ways and beef kebab with tahini are hard to resist at Doris Metropolitan, but even more so during happy hour Sundays through Thursdays from 5-6:30 pm when each item is heavily discounted. A handful of wines by the glass are listed under $10, and $7 cocktails like the coconut daiquiri and Aperol Collins make for a lively evening.

     

     Jack & Ginger’s
    Enjoy an extended happy hour at Midtown’s newest Irish pub where, from 11 am to 9 pm every Monday through Friday, specials on wine, appetizers, and beer flights are offered throughout the bar and patio. Snack on crisp, salty potato chips with smoked cheddar pub cheese, or the gooey grilled cheese hushpuppies with sweet strawberry jelly paired with a cold one.

     

     Kanaloa
    Get tipsy off of tiki cocktails and more at this low-lit bar and courtyard located adjacent to Market Square Park in Downtown. Potent, fruit forward cocktails served in tall tiki glasses are on special Monday through Friday from 4-7 pm and serve as fun accessories for an Instagrammable moment. Visit on Tiki Tuesday and enjoy happy hour prices all day, with $1 off tacos.

     

     Kau Ba Saigon Kitchen
    After garnering fame from her appearances on Netflix’ Ugly Delicious and Street Eats, localebrity Nikki Tran has launched a brand new weekday happy hour pairing Vietnamese street eats with half-priced wine and cocktails at Kau Ba in Montrose. A menu of savory small plates including fried dumplings with fermented lemon sauce and fried tofu with shrimp paste are no more than $5, and guests are welcome to enjoy the discounted offerings throughout the entire restaurant, bar, and patio.

     

     Miss Carousel
    This moody East Downtown destination is a fabulous place to indulge in boozy craft cocktails and spirits, but especially during 4-6 pm (seven days a week) when classic adult beverages like the Moscow Mule and Old Fashion are discounted to $6. Vote for vino? House picks of blush, reds, and whites are also on special for $7 per glass.

     

     Perry’s Steakhouse River Oaks
    Get social at Perry’s Steakhouse in River Oaks, where the entire first level, coined Bar 79 — an ode to the year Perry’s was founded — offers a festive scene in which to dine and drink. On weekdays from 3-7 pm, and also Sunday evenings from 4-9 pm, the social hour features cocktails like the Smokey Rita crafted with Hornitos Black Barrel tequila and savory bar bites like the chopped beef tenderloin pizza for just $9.

     

     Riel
    Find a slew of exotic eats on the happy hour menu available in the bar at Riel all night on Monday and Tuesday to Friday from 5 to 6:30 pm. Comfort plates like the crisp, golden gator karaage with ranch dressing and hot dog minis garnished with fried rice and gochujang are on special, while a selection of white, red, and sparkling wines are $7 and classic cocktails, only $8.

     

     The Pink Elephant Room
    Partake in boozy happy hour specials between 4-7 pm daily at this vibey new Washington Avenue bar. Coined Happier Hour, discounted drinks include $2.50 Lone Star beers, and wine and house cocktails, marked 50 percent off. Beat the heat with $4 frozen bevs, or opt to kick your night up a notch with $3 Amarula shots.

    TikTok star Keith Lee crafts matcha latte for Hill Country flood relief

    Keith Lee hoists his special matcha drink.

    The devastating floods that swept across Central Texas on July 4 are bringing out all kinds of charitable endeavors — and that includes a limited-edition beverage from Texas-based TikTok food influencer Keith Lee.

    Lee, a social media sensation whose online food reviews have benefited hundreds of small restaurants, is partnering with La La Land Kind Cafe on a special drink: Called the La La Land X Keith Lee Latte, it's a matcha drink in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards Kerr County flood relief.

    La La Land is the coffee chain founded in Dallas in 2019 with a mission to provide opportunities for fostering youth and individuals in need. It has three locations in Houston, along with 10 across Dallas-Fort Worth and six in Southern California.

    The new Keith Lee Latte will consist of double ceremonial matcha, with secret syrup, matcha cloud, a whole fresh strawberry, flaky salt, and matcha powder. (See Lee enjoy the latte in the video below.)

    Matcha is the Japanese green tea powder that has experienced a surge in popularity, appearing in everything from drinks like the matcha latte to desserts like matcha mousse.

     Keith Lee Latte Keith Lee Latte is a matcha drink.Instagram 

    Lee, who relocated to Dallas in 2024, has been on a matcha kick ever since he tried it in Chicago, which he says "led me down a rabbit hole," and it has become his trademark drink. In May, he visited seven cafes across DFW in search of the perfect matcha in town, and that included La La Land, where he ordered a matcha with almond milk.

    He also has a charitable history, including a special visit he made to Taste Project in Fort Worth to donate $4,000 to support the nonprofit's mission to fight food insecurity.

    The Keith Lee Latte will be available at all La La Land cafes beginning Friday July 11, for a limited time only. From July 11-27, 100 percent of all proceeds will support flood relief efforts in Kerr County — "a community in our home state that’s hurting," La La Land Cafe says.
