Football Happy Hour

Football season is here, and Chili's is making the most of it. This year, when football is on, so are the Happy Hour specials, including $3 16-ounce Bud Light, $4 16-ounce Modelo, and $6 Tequila Trifecta and Straw-Eddy 'Rita margaritas. Plus, Chili's recently debuted a new cocktail - Ranch Water, made with Patron reposado tequila, soda and a splash of lime for $9 - and new $5 shots, including PB&J (Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey and Chambord black raspberry liqueur), Lemon Drop (Deep Eddy lemon vodka with simple syrup and lemon) and Green Tea (Jameson Irish Whiskey shaken with Peach Schnapps and lemon sour and topped with Sprite). Or ask for the secret drinks: Iceberg (Modelo topped with frozen margarita) and Michelada (Modelo with Bloody Mary mix, lime juice and a Southwest Cajun rim). Fill up on new bar bites such as white queso curly fries ($5), Chili's Philly ($7), burger bites ($7), and bone-in and boneless wings with a choice of nine sauces ($7-$14). Satisfy your sweet tooth with the Grown-Up Molten featuring the molten chocolate cake with a sidecar of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey for $10.
