The Den

"When: Mon-Fri 3-7pm The Deal: $5 mules, $4 beers, $6 jumbo margaritas, $10 burger and pint, rotating daily specials As the unofficial bar of U of H students, prices at The Den are pretty affordable in general. But during Happy Hour, the Third Ward sports bar transforms into a wonderland of shockingly discounted food and drinks. Sit at the bar and watch the latest sports game over $6 jumbo margaritas on Mondays, have a cheeseburger and a pint of beer for $10 on Wednesdays, and a $4 beer on Thursdays. Spending a Happy Hour at The Den means reminding yourself of the simpler times, and how they are only as far as you want them to be." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"The Third Ward sports bar The Den functions as the watering hole for U of H students. If the last three songs were by Drake on the loudspeaker there, you’re in the right place. With strong margaritas that cost $6 during Happy Hour, to buffalo chicken sandwiches with crispy fries, The Den feels like a one-stop-shop for college students looking to enjoy their weekend on a shoestring budget. Expect the giant projector (and all four of their flat screen TVs) to be set to the most exciting sports game, and for bar guests to be glued to the action while slinging back Modelos." - Gianni Greene

"The original UH campus bar will definitely be packed on Saturday. A rep says they’ll have specials on 8th Wonder’s Cougar Paw Red Ale at $4 a pint, plus more to be announced on the bar’s social media later this week." - Brittanie Shey
