Happy Hour Specials in Lakeway and Bee Cave

There are plenty of reasons to be happy about living in the Lake Travis area. And plenty of places for you to find happy hour specials.

Happy hour is a great time to gather with friends after a day in the office … or a day with your kids. Unwind with some food and drink. And it’s usually the best time to save some money while you’re at it.

Happy hour is special. There’s a history about where the term “Happy Hour” comes from and it’s hard to believe that 23 states have banned happy hour. Fortunately, that’s not the case here in the Lake Travis area.

Cafe Blue: Fresh Seafood in Lake Travis

Written by Todd Hower | March 18, 2014

This is one of those places that I would usually save for a date night, but after a family day of shoe shopping at the Hill Country Galleria and a craving for oysters, it was decided (by the adults) that we were going to have a family date night at Cafe Blue.

I called to see if there was a wait and even though it was a busy Saturday night, they were able to have a table ready for us within 20 minutes. So we wrapped up our shoe shopping at Dick’s Sporting Goods and headed over to Cafe Blue.

Our kids seemed to be getting into what my daughter calls her food mood (which is not a mood you want to be around). As we were deciding on an adult beverage, our server was very keen to recognize the situation. He brought out a loaf of warm bread with butter to take care of our “starving” children and asked if they could get something started for the kids.

The etch-a-sketch on the backside of the kids menu kept them occupied until the food arrived. Because I didn’t think of Cafe Blue as a family-friendly restaurant, it was all unexpected — but extremely refreshing.
