Best Happy Hours in Tampa Bay
Do you want to know undeniably the best time of the day? HAPPY HOUR. At least to me. But I’m sure you’ll agree that after a long day at work, unwinding with friends, good drinks, great food, and amazing vibes is the move. I’d go to the best Tampa happy hours every day if I could — and I could! (Don’t worry… we’ll get to the weekend happy hours in Tampa another day.)
Today, I’m outlining a few of the best happy hours in Tampa offered only Monday through Friday.
Blind Goat
You’ve certainly heard me mention Blind Goat before — and for good reason, I love it there! The games, live music, and neighborhood feel keep me coming back to this South Tampa bar.
And, of course, their Tampa happy hour! It runs from 3-7 on weekdays:
$4 Premium Wells
$4 Select Drafts
$5 House Wines
$5 Tito’s, Jameson, Screwball, & Captain Morgan
Bar Louie
Yes, Bar Louie also made my bottomless mimosa brunch list, but I much prefer it as a happy hour vibe. Like the offering is extensive.
From 4-7pm every weekday, Bar Louie runs these Tampa happy hour specials:
$4domestic drafts
$5 craft drafts
$6 premium liquors
$6 wine by the glass
$7.50 all signature martinis (THIS is where I live)
$7.50 select house cocktails
Half off select appetizers and all flatbreads
Not to mention, you can just pop over to International and do a bit of tipsy shopping afterward.
American Social
If you want a happy hour with great views of Downtown Tampa Bay, AmSo is a clear choice.
From 4 to 7, you can grab these Tampa Bay happy hour deals:
$6 margaritas
$6 house wines & draft beers
$6 well liquors
$7 call liquors
$8 premium liquors
$10 craft cocktails
C House
Off work a little early? Happy hour starts at 3pm Monday-Friday at C House in Seminole Heights. Not too fast—it ends at 5:30pm, so it may not work for everyone. If you’re able to make it, you can find these specials:
$9 select cocktails
$8 wine & bubbles
$5/6 beers
$10 small bites
Fun fact: Everything on the menu starts with a ‘C’
Hotel Bar
Hotel Bar shakes up amazing cocktails with a sultry, intimate vibe to match. This downtown Tampa bar makes a great date night spot, and an equally good spot for an early happy hour.
From 4-6pm, Monday-Friday, you can sip on:
$5 local drafts
$6 spirits
$9 cocktails
$3 OFF any glass of wine
Miguelitos
In the mood for Mexican food? Miguelitos on Kennedy offers amazing eats and a decent happy hour Monday through Friday from 2-6pm.
Happy Hour specials:
50% off well cocktails, house margaritas and sangrias
