LongHorn's bar program punches well above the casual dining average. The cocktails are genuinely hand-crafted, the margarita lineup is extensive, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated to pair with steak. During Prime Time Happy Hour (Mon–Fri 4–7 PM), select cocktails and draft beers are available at reduced prices — one of the best happy hour deals at a steakhouse chain. Non-alcoholic options are plentiful and well-priced, from fresh lemonade to frozen specialty drinks.
* Prices verified May 2026. May vary by location. Alcohol available at participating locations only.
LongHorn Drinks Ordering Tips
Happy Hour Strategy
- Happy Hour runs Mon–Fri 4–7 PM — plan dinner at 4 PM and enjoy discounted cocktails before the dinner rush hits
- Draft beers and select margaritas see the best Happy Hour discounts — ask your server what's included that day
- Some locations offer food + drink Happy Hour combos — appetizer + cocktail packages at reduced prices
- Arrive slightly before 4 PM to get seated, then order drinks right at 4 PM when Happy Hour begins
Pairing Tips
- Pair Cabernet Sauvignon with the Outlaw Ribeye or Flo's Filet — the tannins cut through the fat beautifully
- Chardonnay pairs well with LongHorn Salmon and Parmesan Crusted Chicken
- The LongHorn Gold Margarita with the Texas Tonion® appetizer is a classic combination
- The Jim Beam Old Fashioned is the ideal pairing with any bone-in steak — bourbon and beef are natural partners
Insider Tips
- The Skinny LongHorn Margarita (agave nectar + silver tequila) is significantly lower calorie than the Gold — ask for it if watching intake
- Free refills apply to soft drinks, iced tea, lemonade, coffee, and hot tea — not cocktails or alcohol
- LongHorn's non-alcoholic frozen drinks are genuinely good — the Frozen Blue Raspberry Lemonade at $3.99 is popular with all ages
- Ask about seasonal cocktail specials — LongHorn rotates limited-time drinks that aren't on the printed menu
