Happy Hour Specials
About
Mezcal-forward cocktail programs are rare enough in Austin, and finding one with a daily happy hour at the Arboretum is even rarer. Bulevar runs theirs every day from 4:30 to 6 p.m. with discounted wines, drafts, frozen mezcal margaritas, and small plates in the $8 to $10 range.
The margaritas here taste smoky and layered rather than sweet and citrusy. That's the mezcal doing its job, and the bartenders know enough about the spirit to walk you through options if you're curious. The small plates function as real food, not afterthought bar snacks. The wine list tilts Spanish and Mexican.
Bulevar happy hour draws a mix of people ending their workday and groups staging before dinner elsewhere. The space feels clean and contemporary, and the volume stays conversational during the happy hour window. It sits inside a shopping complex near the Arboretum but manages to feel like its own thing. Arrive by 4:30 if you want the full window; it's only 90 minutes.
