Trying a few happy hours downtown

Ok, first of all, put down whatever you are doing and get down to El Chile's new downtown location at 918 Congress immediately. They are serving free drinks while they wait to get their liquor license. Free drinks! And during happy hour, half-price appetizers! We went for happy hour and ordered: exactly four margaritas, ceviche, tortilla soup, nachos and quesadillas, and the total bill came to $13. No, I am not kidding. Along with all of that we were served chips with a generous helping of their delicious smoky salsa. Please go now, and get the ceviche!


Next we decided to try a couple of drink specials on 6th street. Yes, we're a little old for 6th street, but there are some cheap drinks to be had there. And one of us is a student, so we kind of fit in, right? We found these specials by browsing the happy hour finder thing on Austin360. There are bars in Austin that serve 50 cent wells and $1 beers? I love this place. Anyway, first we went to Buffalo Billiards. They also list their specials on their website. They have good beer on tap and a lot of pool tables, obviously.

Next we stopped by The Dizzy Rooster.. $2 domestic beer & $2 well drinks until 11 pm. Shiner doesn't count as a domestic beer though. Huh?

After all that we were so done. We're not 22 anymore, you know?
