Neighborhood is at the center of Seafood Sally’s, the new restaurant from the chef/owners of Marjie’s Grill, and its happy hour menu is an extension of that — what better way to draw in neighbors than with $1 oysters? The Buck a Shuck happy hour, which also features $5 bar snacks, $6 cocktails, and $5 glasses of wine, is daily from 4 to 6 p.m.

The chance to nibble on chef Nathanial Zimet’s simply elegant cuisine is reason enough to head to his inviting Uptown restaurant for happy hour Tuesday through Saturday, 5 to 7 p.m. Add in the $5 house wines, $1 off drafts and $7 sazeracs and life is good. Specially priced bites include $10 steamed mussels, $8 for blackened shrimp and grit cake, $5 boudin balls and $4 fries — get the fries — hand cut, fried to order hot and crispy — they are best enjoyed with garlic aioli for dipping.

From the team behind top New Orleans cocktail bar Cure, this renovated service station at the corner of Valence and Freret makes for a hip, casual setting with a sprawling front patio serving regional Mexican specialties, tacos, and a nice menu of agave-based drinks, both margarita and non-margarita. Happy hour is from 4 to 6 p.m. daily., offering a $6 margarita, frozen or on the rocks, and a $5 Modelo and Tapatio tequila shot combo.

This charming and delicious Magazine Street ramen destination offers a robust menu of food and drink beyond just bowls of ramen (though those are some of the best in town), including unexpected small plates of calamari frisee salad, confit oyster mushrooms, stuffed squid, and traditional spam musubi. Happy hour is an especially great way to try a number of those and more — small plates and house cocktails are just $6, 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Just in time for summer, New Orleans finally has a rooftop happy hour for drinks with views of the city. On top of the Virgin Hotels New Orleans, the stylish Pool Club host the Golden Hour happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. — the drinks aren’t a steal, exactly, but still discounted:  Cocktails like Aperol Spritzes and negronis are $10, wines by the glass are $8.

Along with expert, elevated preparations of vegetables and seafood, the new Le Chat Noir also boasts a strong drinks program — and a happy hour to go along with it. From 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, the upscale-casual restaurant from the owner of Bearcat is offering a special shucker’s selection of oysters on the half shell along with deals on a daily punch, beer, and glasses of wine.

The owners of French Quarter institution Tujague’s Restaurant opened both the Bower and the Bower Bar next door to each other on Magazine Street this year, with outdoor seating offered on a spacious plant filled patio. Monday through Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m., signature cocktails and daily punch are $8, house wine-by-the-glass is $7; and beer is $4. Discounted plated like charcuterie, cacio e pepe, crispy cauliflower, and whipped feta run from $6 to $12.

Wetlands Sake is New Orleans’s very first sake brewery, a few blocks down the road from another pioneering local brewery, Urban South. The sake, which started showing up on the shelves of local grocery stores and other retail shops in Louisiana last year, is served in the taproom; filtered and unfiltered varieties, both dry and fruity flavors — think blueberry lemon, spicy paloma, and sparkling hibiscus. Happy hour offers a way to try them for less, weekdays from 4 to 6 p.m. and noon to 2 p.m. on weekends; food can be grabbed from the Commissary next door.

Anna’s is the reinvention of beloved neighborhood dive Mimi’s in the Marigny, but luckily it’s not too much of a change — the interior is familiar, and the food and drinks are still top-notch. Bar manager Anna Giordano (Jewel of the South, Bar Tonique, and Longway Tavern, among others) offers a robust happy hour — actually called “sad hour,” which feels right — menu of cocktails like a Boulevardier pineapple daiquiri, along with beer and wine.

Bywater’s warm and welcoming new brewery offers unique beers brewed on site by a longtime local brewer and fun, creative Viet-Cajun dishes from chef Anh Luu. From 4 to 6 p.m. daily, there are specials on both: draft beers are $4; cucumber margs are $6; crawfish nachos are $7; and the burger, which comes with the most delicious fries, is $8. Consider also dropping by for a crawfish boil or the Wednesday night Milkfish pop-up.

Capulet, the bar and restaurant during the week and event space and popular wedding venue on weekends, recently revamped its food and drinks menu, offering a great new happy hour at the same time. Monday through Thursday, before live music gets going, there are discounted drink specials for PBRs, sparkling wine, boozy punch, and fried chicken or tofu sandwiches.
