"One of Houston’s best bars also boasts the best weekday happy hour. From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., all house wines, beers, and cocktails are half-off. Those who are imbibing should definitely indulge in BLT’s unique creations — the Spice Girl (ancho-chile infused blanco tequila mixed with lemon and hibiscus), guarantees a kick, while the Future Nostalgia’s combination of pisco, honeysuckle, white peach, and sage is slightly sweet, a tad herbaceous, and totally balanced. On Mondays, stop by for half-off all wine bottles." - Brianna Griff
"From Bobby Heugel and Justin Yu, Better Luck Tomorrow is a Heights neighborhood gem that showcases thoughtfully built cocktails in a relaxed and vibey space. Upgrade a vodka or gin martini with your choice of garnishes like blue cheese olives, cornichons, and caperberry, or try a margarita crafted with mezcal. The bar’s food offerings receive just as much attention, with weekly specials like pasta on Tuesdays and steak nights on Wednesdays." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Chef Justin Yu and Bobby Heugel’s ever-popular Heights bar and restaurant dishes out a rotating offering of thoughtfully prepared cuts, including chicken-fried NY strips, with delicious complements like mashed potatoes and its double gravies, and steak frites with an “extra garlicy aioli” for $20. Catch the all-day special every Wednesday, and note that every third Wednesday of the month features a rib-eye for two. Be sure to take advantage of BLT’s happy hour specials, which offer half-priced drinks." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Open Until: Midnight daily Better Luck Tomorrow is an adorable bar in the Heights with a dimly lit interior—there isn’t much else to see besides the bar backlit with bright neon lights. This cozy little bar is where you can bring your boo and have a pomegranate ranch water that tastes like an alcoholic Capri-Sun, devour the double-meat patty melt to the tune of 70s funk, and chitchat on the wraparound patio while hoping to spot a few cute dogs out for a late night walk." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Better Luck Tomorrow has the same lifeforce behind it as its sister spots Anvil, Refuge, Squable, and Theodore Rex, and just as much booze. The corner cocktail bar not only has a lot of colorful lights and a sprawling covered patio, but there’s also a menu full of small plates like sauteed shrimp, crab cakes, and the “everyday cheeseburger,” which you can add an extra patty or blue cheese. Or just fill up on signature cocktails. Visit for pasta specials on Tuesday, steaks on Wednesdays, during Happy Hour, or to try the spaghetti sandwich during weekend brunch." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
