OUR PICK: South Flores Market H-E-B, 516 Flores St., (210) 444-1879, heb.com

Full disclosure: H-E-B doesn’t sell liquor, so you won’t be tossing back any cheap wells during this happy hour (and we can blame Texas’ arcane alcohol laws for that). But what you will find at H-E-B’s Downtown is $10 pizza from 4 to 7 p.m. daily with two complimentary pints of Alamo beer. Grab your giant pie (available in cheese, pepperoni, supreme, spicy Hawaiian, and Tuscan kale), two pints, and take a seat on the cute patio that offers diners a different view of the Tower Life Building, Tower of the Americas and Southtown. It’s one of the best values in town and won’t blow your budget.
