South Padre Island Happy Hours & Daily Specials

How we know this: each special below was read on the venue's own website, or in one marked case its official Facebook page, on 2026-09-23. The source page is named under each venue. We looked up each venue from our earlier list. Venues whose own pages showed no special when we checked are left out, except Driftwood Landing, which says it has nightly drink specials but doesn't list them. Specials change, so call ahead before you go.
