"The Deal: $7 original cocktails, half off wine bottles, $5 draft beers, $6 mini quesabirria, chicken, or asada tacos We don’t know too much about how raccoons like to party, but if the vibe is anything like Trash Panda Drinking Club, then we want the next invite. At this dive-y spot in Northside Village, you can spend happy hour sitting under fluorescent red lights while you listen to house music deep cuts with $7 classic house cocktails and mini quesabirria tacos served with an eye-watering jalapeno crema sauce." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Sometimes all you need is a dive bar and a stiff drink. Trash Panda delivers both. Order the traditional version — a bourbon and rye combo with angostura and piloncillo ($12). Or, opt for the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, featuring Xicaru mezcal from Oaxaca and Reposado tequila ($12). From 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. daily, both beverages are $7. For a fully satisfying night out, pair your cocktail with the Thursday special: $25 for a rib-eye and two sides." - Brianna Griff
"With daily food specials and free-flowing drinks that will make you want to dance all night long, this Northside Village bar is not only a great place to hang out but also has above-average bar grub. Trash Panda’s weekly food specials span from $1 wing Mondays to $25 rib-eyes on Thursdays, while the Trashy Meal — consisting of a Trash Burger, Outlaw draft, and shot — is available daily for $10. Cold beer, house wines, rotating frozens, and tasty cocktails like the Bee’s Knees are always a guarantee." - Brianna Griff
"Top off a chilly day with the inventive Doll Face cocktail served hot at Trash Panda in Northside Village. Gin and cardamom are mixed with Ponche Navideño, a Mexican fruit punch." - Marcy de Luna
"With a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, this whiskey dive celebrates the season with a darker twist.
