Chili's Happy Hour — Times & Drink Deals
Good news for deal-hunters: unlike many chains, Chili's actually runs a real Chili's happy hour. The core Chili's happy hour window is from 3 PM, with discounted beers and cocktails, and on weekends many locations run happy-hour pricing all day. It's one of the better casual-dining happy hours around, especially if you like Tex-Mex bites alongside a cold drink.
Below is the day-by-day Chili's happy hour schedule and the drink deals you can expect. Keep in mind this is participation-based: prices and exact times differ by location, so treat the list as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

How to get the most from Chili's happy hour
To make the most of the Chili's happy hour, aim for the 3–6 PM window on weekdays, or go any time on Saturday and Sunday where all-day pricing applies. Pair a $3–$5 beer or a $6 margarita with a shareable starter from the appetizers menu — the Triple Dipper and Texas Cheese Fries are happy-hour favorites. Because deals vary, it's worth confirming the current specials with your server when you sit down.
