The patio at Frisco's Eight 11 is abuzz with live music every week, Wednesday through Saturday. Local musicians play an up-tempo soundtrack starting at 6:30 p.m. as guests gather around the fire pits with glasses of wine or pints of craft beer in hand.

If you get to Eight 11 a bit before the music, between 4 and 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, you can grab that drink at a discount. Draft beers are $4 and select wines are $5 during happy hour. On Wednesdays, certain bottles of wine are also half-off. Savor a pint of a local brew like the Deep Ellum Neato Bandito Mexican-style lager or the Four Corners Local Buzz, a honey-rye golden ale. Pair your drink with a brie and apple board, a bruschetta board, or something even more decadent, like the sugar-bacon, raspberry jam, and goat cheese board for the full Eight 11 experience this fall.
