Old Thousand

About

Everything on Old Thousand's happy hour menu costs $7. All of it. And every single item is vegan, which makes this one of the most unusual happy hour setups in East Austin. Tuesday through Friday, 4 to 5:30, you get food and drinks at that flat rate, including the Panda Punch, Summer Shandy, Master Gao Beer, and house wines.

The restaurant sits on East 11th, right in the middle of a stretch that's become one of Austin's best food corridors. Old Thousand does Chinese-influenced cooking with a confident style and a kitchen that takes its vegan menu as seriously as the rest. This isn't an afterthought section of the menu. It's the whole happy hour.

Old Thousand happy hour is a smart pick if you want good food at a dead-simple price point. The $7 flat rate means no math, no surprises, just order what looks good and know exactly what you're spending.
