"The Deal: $5-$8 appetizers, $1 off cocktails and draft beers, $7.25 frozen screwdrivers At the Dia De Los Muertos-themed bar Under The Volcano, there’s a little corner for everyone. Live music fills the room as regulars chat with bartenders freshly pressing juice for cocktails, and the crew of work buddies are hanging loose on the patio after a day at the office. No matter where you are at the bar, during happy hour, you can kick back with $6 queso, $8 rib tips, and a $6 beer to unwind." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Under The Volcano started serving frozen screwdrivers in 1989 and never looked back. The Dia De Los Muertos-themed bar is an institution in Rice Village, not only for its decades-old frozen drink, but also its Tex-Mex food, weekend brunch, Monday steak nights, and live music events every Wednesday. The screwdrivers are exactly as expected: a blend of fresh-squeezed orange juice and vodka served straight up and cold as hell. Sometimes simplicity is best." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Situated away from the hustle of the area’s many retail shops and restaurants, this longtime haunt is relaxed, unpretentious, and replete with Day of the Dead artifacts and decor. Along with frozen cocktails and a full coffee bar, find Mexican American dishes like chips and queso, as well as tacos, empanadas, and tamales. Along with its weekly steak night, held from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays, diners can also look forward to its two-day 35th-anniversary celebration starting September 21. Volcano will commemorate another year with frozen screwdrivers at its original price ($3.75) and $2 Jello shots." - Brittany Britto Garley
