Best Happy Hours in Richmond, TX: 9 Deals From Official Menus

The best happy hours in Richmond, TX run from The Lone Star Saloon in Historic Downtown Richmond, where happy hour typically starts at 11 a.m. on weekdays, to Spectators Bar & Grill in Harvest Green, which runs a second, reverse happy hour from 9 p.m. to midnight. In between you'll find $3 house margaritas, wine poured from taps at a Texas winery, half-price schooners at a burger bar and an arcade pub with pinball. Every pick below was checked on its own official website in November 2026.

The line for the group chat: in Richmond you can start happy hour at 11 a.m. in a country saloon on Third Street and end it at midnight in a sports bar off West Airport Boulevard, and both are on official menus.

What counts as Richmond in this guide?

For this guide, Richmond means the City of Richmond itself (the 77469 zip code around Historic Downtown and Morton Street) plus the unincorporated Fort Bend County areas that carry a Richmond mailing address in the 77406 and 77407 zip codes, including Harvest Green, Aliana, Richmond Lakes and the stretches along South Peek Road, FM 1464 and West Bellfort Boulevard. We left out places with Rosenberg, Sugar Land, Fulshear or Katy addresses, even when they're a short drive away. More on the area in our Richmond, TX area guide.

How we chose

Every pick had to publish its happy hour on its own official website, and that site had to show the business as currently open, with hours, in November 2026. No review sites or third-party deal lists. Each place also needed a reason to choose it over a chain down the road: a historic building, a wine-on-tap bar, a weekend happy hour, an arcade, or a deal good enough to plan around.

Happy hour times and prices change often, so treat every detail below as typical and check the official site before you go.

Historic Downtown Richmond

Historic Downtown Richmond has two happy hours within a short walk of each other, one in a saloon and one in a hidden wine bar.

The Lone Star Saloon

102 S 3rd St, Historic Downtown Richmond · happy hour typically Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Lone Star Saloon in Historic Downtown Richmond posts the longest happy hour we found in the city: eight hours, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., every weekday.

Unwine'd Wine and Spirits sits behind the storefronts of Morton Street in Historic Downtown Richmond, and its happy hour runs from opening at 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. The menu leans on wine and bourbon flights, craft cocktails, charcuterie boards and flatbreads. The patio has a firepit, and cigar smokers are welcome outdoors.

Insider tip: the entrance is at the rear of 310 Morton, so head around back rather than looking for a door on the street. Unwine'd doesn't allow outside food except for private events.

What to order: a wine flight and a charcuterie board. Why go: a 90-minute window that turns a Tuesday into a date night.

Harvest Green and Harlem Road
