Austin may be in Texas but the prices are definitely not the state norm. From real estate to doggy daycare, you’d think we were in Silicon Valley! $15 cocktails probably aren’t what most of us signed up for when we moved to/expected when growing up in the Lone Star State, right? So make a stand and join a club full of like-minded individuals – aka the Happy Hour club. Happy Hour in Austin is undeniably popular as patrons seek out after-work relief, the cheap and cheerful way. No matter which neighborhood you’re paying a fortune to live in, make it up in liquor savings with our nifty guide to the best Happy Hours in your vicinity.
