Are All Drinks on Chuy’s Website Part of Happy Hour?

No blanket discount is stated for the full drinks menu. Chuy’s displays signature margaritas, martinis, cocktails and mojitos on the same page, but the happy hour section specifically identifies only the categories listed above.For example, Grand Ma’s Rockin’ Rita and The Strait Skinny appear in the wider margarita menu. Their presence on the page does not establish that they receive happy hour pricing.

This distinction helps when comparing the regular drinks selection with the promotional menu.
