Where to Happy Hour in Downtown this Summer

Planned Days & Nights | Kiara Badue — Aug 20, 2026

If you’re like me and always looking for a good spot to get affordable drinks after work in the warm golden hour sunshine, you’ve come to the right girl. Every summer our favorite happy hour Sunset Sips returns Wednesdays 4–7 PM from July-September with $5, $7, and $9 drinks. To put the cherry on top, this year there are 18 participating bars and restaurants to check out.

Wondering which spot to hit first? Here is a vibe breakdown:

Fine Dining & Elevated Experiences

Sunset Sips is similar to Dine Downtown where you get an opportunity to try high-end bars and restaurants at an affordable cost. These spots are classy, moody, and not your typical happy hour destination.

Fun Night Out

My favorite happy hour is when the drinks are flowing and the fun vibes are going. These locations fill the room with chatter that leave you wondering how it’s already last call.

Rooftops & Patios

Our rooftop and patio selection is top-tier when you want to be outside and catch that evening delta breeze. Literally what is better than a $5 drink in-hand and hanging out with friends with the sun shining on your face.

Casual Food & Drinks

An easy-going happy hour is always a vibe. These are the go-to spots when texting your friend at 4:00PM and saying “want to grab a drink?” after a long day of work. It always ends up being the most memorable and “let’s do this again” experience.
