The Hole in the Wall

About

Five hours of cheap drinks next to campus. The Hole in the Wall on Guadalupe runs happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 8pm, and the prices are the kind that make you do a double take. $2.25 PBR tallboys and wells, $2.75 Shiners, $3.25 Jager. The whole menu reads like a time machine to when bars just wanted you to come in and stay awhile.

Each night gets its own spirit special too. Tuesday brings $3 Maker's, Wednesday has $3.50 select whiskey, Thursday is $3.50 Bulleit. It gives regulars a reason to keep showing up on different nights, which is smart for a bar that thrives on its crowd.

The Hole in the Wall is a campus institution for a reason. No design concept, no craft cocktail program, just honest drinks at honest prices in a room that's seen decades of UT students and neighborhood regulars cycle through. The happy hour here isn't about discovery. It's about knowing exactly what you're getting and being happy about it every time.
