Three Happy Hours You MUST Try

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St Edward's chapter.

Olive & June

3411 Glenview Ave, Austin, TX 78703

Olive & June has the largest and most diverse selection of Italian wine, Amari, and Grappa in the city, but to central Austin’s regulars it’s equally well known for its formal yet friendly service, a hallmark of all Shawn Cirkiel restaurants. Celebrating the cuisine and culture of Southern Italy, expect to see new menu features daily focusing on fresh vegetables, pasta, and unique platters for the table where everything is meant to be shared.

Happy Hour: Monday–Friday 5–6:30pm

Deals: 1/2 off beer, cocktails, share plates

Daily Specials: Mezzo Mondays: 1/2 off wines by the glass all night 

My personal favorite: Sicilian Margarita milagro silver, solerno, lime, pomegranate
