Sometimes we don’t have the budget for a full-blown vacation, but the wanderlust persists anyway. The remedy? A hotel happy hour \u2014 crystalline cocktails, chic lounge hideaways, and solid discounts for the nights when you need an escape without a bagful of traveler\u2019s checks.<\/p>\n

1 Watson
<\/a>This rooftop stunner has some of the best views of San Antonio, with a stunning happy hour to match. Indulge in a selection of half-priced wine bottles, plus discounts on cocktails, and beers. If you start to get peckish, order the \u201cgirl dinner\u201d deal, a side salad and loaded potato wedges for only $12. If you\u2019re too macho for the name, call it \u201cdude dinner\u201d or chow down on the discounted wings.<\/p>\n

Anacacho Coffee and Cantina
<\/a>The signature bar in downtown\u2019s St. Anthony Hotel offers a rarity \u2014 bar bites from a James Beard Award-nominated chef. From 3-6 pm, Sunday through Thursday, the stylish spot offers $9 cocktails, $8 wines, and $7 beers. But the biggest draw may be Leo Davila\u2019s bar bites, including a bao flight, sesame vinaigrette cucumbers, and famous Big Red and barbacoa tacos.<\/p>\n

Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk
<\/a>Although sometimes overshadowed, this River Walk staple has a standout amenity that can’t be beat: three (yes \u2014 three) free drinks a night for all hotel guests. Dubbed the \u201ckickback,\u201d the killer happy hour also features a rotating menu of free hot meals with comfort fare like hot dogs, meatballs, and penne Alfredo. Take that, continental breakfast.<\/p>\n

The Emily Morgan Hotel
<\/a>This downtown staple proudly calls itself the most haunted hotel in the U.S., but the drink prices are no jump scare. At Oro, the property\u2019s signature restaurant, guests can enjoy $9 margs, Bloody Mary’s, mimosas, and Moscow Mules daily from 5-7pm.. The eatery also has $8 wells, $6 draft beers, and $9 house wines. Savory bites like wings and fried Brussels sprouts are sure to keep everyone in good spirits.<\/p>\n

Ostra
<\/a>Not to disparage Maria von Trapp\u2019s bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, but oysters and margaritas are a few of our favorite things. The signature restaurant of the Mokara Hotel & Spa manages the best of both worlds with $8 fiesta margs and chef’s choice oysters at only $1.50 a pop. The daily, 2-5 pm social also discounts a small selection of wine, beer, and select cocktails, served with crunchy seafood snacks like fish and chips and calamari.<\/p>\n

Signia by La Cantera Resort & Spa
<\/a>Think of it as a resort within a resort. SEVEN, the adults-only floor at this Hill Country gem, offers a quiet escape from the buzz of the rest of the property. One of the perks? A complimentary happy hour in the lounge, available daily from 5-7 pm. If you booked a room with your kids, head to Primero Cantina for rotating deals on margaritas and Tex-Mex bites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes we don’t have the budget for a full-blown vacation, but the wanderlust persists anyway.
