Here are some of the best happy hour deals on fine dinning in Austin Texas:
Uchi: Although you will most likely need a reservation, the
early evening deals at Uchi are always fantastic, and at great prices. Mussels
in lemongrass coconut milk broth are heaven, "tako pops" are tender
little octopus grilled with a trio of seasonings, and they always feature one
of their creative sushi rolls. Try a cold unfiltered sake, and enjoy. (801
South Lamar - Austin, Texas 78704 // HH 5-6:30)
McCormick & Schmick: Although this is a chain, their
Austin outpost is a popular downtown destination, and their happy hour is
legendary. Oyster shooters, steamed mussels and ceviche are offered at insanely
low prices, and the ½ lb cheeseburger is one of the best deals around. Spinach
and artichoke dip, chicken satay and hot wings are also available, although the
menu changes periodically. (401 Congress Avenue Austin, Texas 78701 // HH 5-7)
Manuel's: With two locations, one downtown, and one in the
Arboretum, Manuel's is famous for their high quality Tex-Mex in fun and festive
atmosphere. Their half-price appetizers include some of the best ceviche in
town, chicken mole, sautéed mushrooms, guacamole, and more. (310 Congress and
10201 Jollyville, Austin // HH 4-6 daily)
Eddie V's: Also with a downtown and an Arboretum location,
Eddie V's focus on fresh fish is evident, even in their happy hour specials.
Oysters always shine here, whether on the half shell or broiled, and their crab
cake is justifiably famous. Tuna tartare and lobster bisque are among the other
happy hour items. (301 East 5th Street Austin, TX 78701 // HH 4:30 - 6)
Austin Land & Cattle: This venerable Austin institution
has a unique and steak-centric happy hour. With half price appetizers,
carnivores can indulge in the steak sampler - 2 oz tasting portions of their
rib eye, sirloin, and filet mignon. They also offer an upscale take on frito
pie, as well as some incredible popcorn shrimp. (1205 North Lamar Blvd. Austin,
Texas 78703 // HH M-F 5-7)
Kyoto: One of the better and more popular sushi deals in
town, Kyoto's happy hour is brief, but incredible. With 2-piece orders of
salmon, shrimp, conch, eel, and escolar running less than $3.00, diners may
overlook the other delights, including savory yakitori and dumplings. (315
Congress Ave Suite 200 Austin, TX 78701 // HH M-S 6-6:45)
Wink: The wine bar just adjacent to the main restaurant is a
sophisticated yet warm room, with a friendly bartender and fantastic deals on
appetizers. Wine flights are available, and one of the highlights of the bar
menu is the trio of mini-burgers with either brie or foie gras. (1014 N Lamar
Blvd Austin, TX 78703 // HH M-F 5-7)
