Taverna Costera Happy Hour. Arts District

Taverna Costera sits on South 1st Street in the Arts District, a short drive from downtown with the easier parking the neighborhood is known for. The room is bright and modern with coastal touches, comfortable enough for a date but loose enough for a casual afternoon. The kitchen leans into seafood-forward coastal Mexican: ceviche, aguachile, fish tacos, octopus, lighter than the usual Vegas Tex-Mex.

Happy hour runs daily, every day of the week, from 3 to 6pm. The specials rotate by the day for both food and drinks, so it's worth asking your server or the bar what's running when you sit down. That daily schedule is the real draw here, since Sunday happy hours are rare around town and this one covers the full week.

The cocktail program shows effort, with fresh juice and real tequila rather than well-pour shortcuts, and the menu runs into mezcal if you want to explore. Lighter plates like ceviche and aguachile are the natural move during the window, easy to share while you work through a round or two. Good for seafood people, agave drinkers, and anyone who wants something more refined than heavy melted-cheese fare. Since the specials change daily, treat each visit as its own thing and let the staff point you toward the day's best value. Arrive early in the window for the calmest stretch.
