If there’s one thing Houston does right is happy hour. After visiting Downtown, Midtown, and Uptown, it’s time to visit the eclectic Montrose neighborhood.

Present Company

Present Company came on the scene after much anticipation last summer. It is located in the spot once held by Royal Oak which boasted killer happy hour and brunch specials. Its successor would have to fill the void, and Present Company definitely did. Its colorful kitschy decor coupled with La Croix cocktails make it very Instagrammable if that’s your thing. On Tuesdays, they have steak night for $15.95, and on Wednesdays, you get a free pizza with a wine bottle purchase. On a side note, they also have weekend brunch from 11am-4pm.

The 5 Best Happy Hours in Uptown Houston

Get ready for another installment of my favorite happy hours in Houston by neighborhood series. Check out the first one about downtown spots here and Midtown spots here. I like to find places that have happy hour deals on drinks AND food because who isn’t craving both right after a long day? Keep in mind that the Uptown/Galleria area is pretty swanky, so while you won’t find $3 wells here, these places have some great deals on high-quality food and drink!

Save this for that next time you need a place to go!

North Italia

North Italia is my staple happy hour in the Uptown area because it has my favorite HH special of all time- $20 for a bottle of wine and a chef’s board with meat and cheese. Drool. The $3 zucchini chips are also a win. No matter how many times I try to make zucchini chips, they end up being a soggy mess. I don’t even bother anymore. I just come here. They are perfect. And happy hour on Sunday?! Yes, please.

This is a continuation of my best happy hours by neighborhood series. Check out the first one about downtown spots here. Because I love as many places as I can go to to get great specials, a nice buzz, and a reasonable 30 something-year-old bedtime.

Note: All happy hours are Monday-Friday unless otherwise noted.

Weights and Measures

Maybe I am biased because this is walking distance to me, but Weights and Measures is a real winner regardless. Just an FYI, they call their bar area Love & Squalor, so if you see that on any online platforms, they are one and the same.

Specials

$5 Calls and Draft Beer
$5-7 Bar snacks including blue cheese chips and Tuscan kale
$10 Pizzas and Burgers

When? 2-6: 30pm Monday-Friday
Where? 2808 Caroline, Houston, TX 77004

I love a good happy hour in my city Houston, especially among the bustle of downtown. But I love a happy hour even more when they have food AND drink specials. If I’m skipping my after work workout class, I am indulging in everything. The following is a list of my favorite Houston grown spots that have great deals on both of these must-haves.
Some are even walking distance from each other so you could do an adventurous happy hour hop!

*All happy hours are Monday-Friday unless otherwise noted.

Batanga

From Sangria to tapas to Spanish and Brazilian music, you’re delved in the lively Latin atmosphere. Pro-tip: The nachos are generous and they have *live* music Thursday to Sunday.
