Sizzle Into Summer: Why 1845 Taste of Texas is the Ultimate After-Work Happy Hour Stop
Summer has officially arrived in North Texas, bringing with it longer days, warmer nights, and that undeniable craving for a cold drink and a great atmosphere. Whether you’ve spent the day in the office or out in the heat, there is no better way to unwind than by treating yourself to an authentic Texas experience.
At 1845 Taste of Texas, we believe that summer and happy hour belong together. That’s why we’ve curated the perfect afternoon escape. From 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM every single day, we invite you to pull up a chair, loosen your tie (or your boots), and enjoy the best happy hour in the region.
Here is why 1845 is the perfect after-work stop this summer.
The Golden Hours: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Daily
In the world of corporate hustle and summer schedules, "Happy Hour" is often limited to a few weekdays. We do things differently here. Because we know that a Tuesday can be just as demanding as a Friday, our happy hour runs seven days a week.
From 4 PM to 6 PM, our bar and patio become the headquarters for relaxation. Whether you are meeting colleagues to celebrate a closed deal or catching up with friends before the sun goes down, our timed specials ensure you get a premium experience without the premium price tag.
Cool Drinks for a Hot Texas Summer
When the Texas sun is at its peak, you need a beverage program that knows how to bring the temperature down. Our bar team has mastered the art of the summer pour.
1. Craft Cocktails with a Texas Twist
Our cocktail menu is a tribute to the spirit of 1845. During happy hour, you can enjoy elevated classics and signature creations that highlight local distilleries. Whether it’s a refreshing, citrus-forward gin drink or a bold, spicy margarita, our cocktails are designed to be the ultimate summer thirst-quenchers.
2. Specially Priced Drafts and Wines
Not a cocktail fan? No problem. We offer a curated selection of draft beers and house wines that are perfectly chilled and specially priced during our 4–6 PM window. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a light afternoon snack or a heavy Texas sunset.
The Perfect After-Work Atmosphere
What makes 1845 the perfect after-work stop isn't just what’s in your glass—it’s where you’re sitting. We designed our space to feel like a modern Texas ranch: sophisticated yet incredibly comfortable.
The Bar: High-energy, sleek, and manned by the friendliest bartenders in town.
The Patio: Summer evenings were made for patio dining. Enjoy the breeze and the social buzz of the neighborhood as the day cools off.
The Vibes: We trade the stuffy steakhouse feel for an atmosphere that is vibrant and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can actually hear your friends talk while enjoying a world-class playlist.
Don't Forget the Bites
A summer happy hour is only as good as the appetizers paired with it. Our culinary team has prepared a menu of "small plates" that pack a big Texas punch. From our savory starters to our shareable snacks, these bites are designed to tide you over until dinner or serve as the main event of your afternoon.
