THE HEAT IS on, Houston. But fortunately for all of us, so are some of the year's best happy-hour deals. Spotted: ice-cold margs, live music, and dollar oysters. Read on for deets!

Arnaldo Richards' Picos

Picos' Paloma

Happy hour at this Mexican-food classic is all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, and from 3-6pm on Wednesdays through Fridays. Snag tacos al pastor for $12, and cocktails like a shaker margarita or refreshing Paloma for $8. Beers are just $4!

Bludorn

For an hour on weekdays (4-5pm, Mon.-Thurs.), 10 of the fine-dining trendsetter's perfectly crafted cocktails are only $10.

East River 9

Street tacos at Riverhouse

The East End golf course (also with driving range, putting green and pickle ball!) is hosting a summer music series on Friday and Saturday nights through August. From 7-9pm at East River 9's Riverhouse restaurant, enjoy free live music on the outdoor terrace, a perfect spot to also partake in newly appointed culinary director AJ Junnarkar's expanded menu of American classics.

Eunice

At this Upper Kirby Cajun spot, happy hour is every day! From 3-6pm, all bevs are 30 percent off, and Gulf oysters are $1.50 a pop. Tack on additional bar snacks priced at $8 each.

Georgia James

Happy hour with a view? Yes, please! Georgia James' rooftop bar is the place to be, with $12 summer cocktails (the Summertime Spritz has gin, elderflower and sparkling rosé) and brand-new bar bites like French onion sliders. Snag these deals and more daily from 5-10pm.

Home Run Dugout

Think Top Golf, but with baseball — and add a sprawling patio, amazing food and a whiffle ball field — and you have Home Run Dugout. The Katy sports-bar-and-more has a new happy hour, available Mon.-Fri. from 3-6pm. Score discounted cocktails (honey-vanilla old fashioned, anyone?), $4 draft beers and cheap bar bites. Or come for live music from 7-11pm on weekends!

Los Tios

Kick off the week with a great deal at all locations of this Tex-Mex fave — including the brand-new one in West U! The house marg is just $5 all day on Mondays this summer.

Lulu's

This Italian resto in River Oaks has become a neighborhood go-to — and for good reason. The Bottles & Boards happy-hour special delivers a half-price bottle of bubbles and a $20 charcuterie board, and is now available from 3-6pm on the daily.

NoPo Café

Now through July 31, Berg Hospitality's NoPo Café serves a three-course dinner for just $40 per person. Add wine pairings for another $40 — it's still a steal!

Ostia

Another perfect pairing: Ostia's Pizza & Bubbles deal on Sunday (5-9pm). Chef Travis McShane offers a rotating menu of pies and 25 percent off bubbly by the glass or bottle.

Tobiuo

Kill the hottest part of the day at this Katy sushi spot, with a daily happy hour from 2-5pm that includes $8 cocktails, $5 off nigiri and sashimi sets, half-price cold tastings — and, on Wednesdays, half off all bottles of wine.
