Everyone’s looking for a deal these days because, yes, stuff is expensive. But right in front of us, every single day, are some great deals on food and drink, all thanks to these two beloved words: Happy hour.
Marie and I talked about happy hours on a recent podcast episode, but we had so many good options that we didn’t have time to mention. We wanted to make sure you had them at your fingertips for the days when the heart wants to go out, but the wallet wants to stay in. Here are five more excellent happy hour deals in Nashville worth exploring.
Five Points Pizza has the kind of deal that makes you think of Robert’s Western World’s recession special, but you don’t have to go downtown to nab it. Between 2-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, grab a pizza slice and a PBR or Miller High Life for just $5. Upgrade to a draft beer for $8 total.
Kristin Beringson’s Henley, inside the Kimpton Aertson Hotel, is one of the city’s most overlooked gems. Check it out between 4-6 p.m. for happy hour deals, including smoked bacon queso fries, cornbread skillet, a chef’s pick, plus $9 cocktails and wines, and $5 beers.
Dickerson Pike’s Cherries is known for its perfectly mixed cocktails. At happy hour, you can try some of them, like the mezcal Buck Cherry for $8. House wines — including a bubbly, which is one of my favorites — are $6. You can accompany all of those with chips and guac or tacos. Happy hour at Cherries lasts way more than an hour: It’s daily until 8 p.m.
East Nashville’s Bad Idea got a Michelin Sommelier Award for 2025. So if you like wine, it’s probably been on your list to try. Head over Sunday through Thursday from 5-6 p.m. for $10 select pours plus house cocktails. Happy hour is always a good idea, after all.
Got a crew? Maggie’s Place in The Nations is family-friendly, whether you want to come with the kids, the dogs, or both. Happy hour runs from 3-7 p.m. on Mondays, and Wednesdays through Fridays. Deals include $2 off all draft beers, five mini tacos for $8, and $20 margarita pitchers.
Note that, like everything in life, deals and times are likely to change, so double-check before heading out.
