Early-Afternoon Options
If you want to start before 4 PM, TEN Sushi, Sixty Vines and Hudson House all publish 3 PM starts on weekdays. That gives Uptown several options for an early after-work stop, a late lunch that rolls into happy hour, or a quieter visit before the evening rush.
4 PM Happy Hour Options
Uchi Dallas runs happy hour every day from 4–6 PM. Its happy-hour menu is food-forward, with sushi, nigiri, cool and hot tastings and drinks. That makes it particularly useful when happy hour is replacing dinner rather than serving as a pre-dinner drink stop.
For menu prices, hours and reservation details, see the Uchi Dallas guide.
5 PM Happy Hour Options
Parliament, The Standard Pour and Uchiba all work well for a traditional post-work start. Parliament’s standard Tuesday-through-Saturday window runs 5–8 PM and extends all day Monday. The Standard Pour runs 5–7 PM, with all-night happy hour on Monday. Uchiba runs daily from 5–6:30 PM.
Happy Hour for Sushi in Uptown Dallas
Uptown and the surrounding central-Dallas area have several sushi-focused happy hours. Uchi and Uchiba share the same Maple Avenue building but have different menus and time windows. TEN Sushi + Cocktail Bar adds another weekday option at 2301 N Akard Street.
For a broader look beyond Uptown, the main Dallas happy hour guide also includes RA Sushi Addison and other sushi-focused options.
Happy Hour for Cocktails & Wine
Parliament and The Standard Pour are the most cocktail-centered choices in this group. Sixty Vines is the most wine-focused, while Hudson House pairs wine and martini discounts with oysters and a cheeseburger special.
If martinis are the priority, compare Hudson House and DL Mack’s with other current deals in the Dallas martini happy hour guide.
