T-Bones Chophouse

When you think steakhouse, you probably think "expensive as hell and definitely not happy hour material." T-Bones Chophouse in Summerlin is here to tell you that's not always the case. This is where you go when you want the steakhouse experience without completely destroying your credit score before dinner even starts.

The Hours & The Deals

Sunday through Thursday, 4-6pm, T-Bones runs a happy hour that features $8-10 cocktails—which in steakhouse math is basically free. We're talking classic cocktails in a setting where people usually drop $18 on a Manhattan without blinking. Getting quality pours in the single digits while sitting in a legit chophouse? Yeah, you're winning.

Why This Works

Here's what makes T-Bones different from your typical Vegas steakhouse experience: it's tucked in Summerlin, so you're getting neighborhood vibes instead of tourist-trap energy. The happy hour crowd is locals who know what's up, not bachelor parties trying to expense everything.

The cocktails are proper steakhouse classics—Old Fashioneds, martinis, whiskey-based drinks that actually complement the environment instead of fighting it. And because it's a real chophouse, the bar scene has that dark wood, leather, and low lighting aesthetic that makes you feel like you're doing something sophisticated even if you're just here for cheap drinks.

The Strategy

Look, you don't have to order dinner to enjoy happy hour here, but you'd be missing out if you don't at least grab some apps. Steakhouse appetizers are usually where they actually want to make you happy—they're saving the price gouging for the 16oz ribeye. Happy hour pricing on top of that? You're basically robbing them.

The Sunday inclusion is clutch. Most happy hours pretend weekends don't exist, but T-Bones gets that Sunday evening is when you need affordable drinks the most. You're mourning the death of your weekend and dreading Monday—the least they can do is give you $8 cocktails.

Who This Is For

This is your move when you want to feel fancy without the fancy bill. First dates where you want to suggest taste without suggesting you're trying too hard. Business casual meetups where everyone's pretending the week wasn't a disaster. Or just solo bar sitting when you want to feel like a character in a noir film instead of someone scrolling their phone at a TGI Friday's.

The Thursday cutoff means no Friday/Saturday happy hour, but honestly, if you're spending your weekend evenings in Summerlin instead of exploring the rest of Vegas, we need to have a different conversation.

The Bottom Line

T-Bones Chophouse happy hour is proof that you can have nice things without selling a kidney. It's a real steakhouse with real drinks at prices that won't make you check your bank account in the bathroom. For Summerlin locals, this is an easy add to your regular rotation. For visitors staying off-Strip, this beats whatever mediocre hotel bar you were considering by a mile.

Show up between 4-6pm Sunday through Thursday, order like you belong there, and enjoy the fact that you're getting the steakhouse experience at sports bar prices.
