HOUSTON –Whether you skipped lunch and are experiencing a late afternoon slump or just need to cool your jets before the commute home from work, HS Green, located at 5092 Richmond Ave. (70056), now offers happy hour relief Monday through Friday from 3-7PM.

The wine list has been expanded to include selections from major wine regions around the globe and the beer menu now sports 14 brews, featuring locally produced favorites such as 8th Wonder and Saint Arnold. At $3 per beer and $5 for wines by-the-glass, it’s hard to resist sampling a few.

Bar bites and small plates range from $2.50-$6 and feature nourishing snacks along with a few guilty pleasures. Nibble on a cheese plate with three cheeses, fruit, nuts and flatbread or the crave-worthy fried pickles and jalapenos with jalapeno ranch dip. Healthful vegetarian bites include the hummus and house made flatbread; falafel bites, or the gaucamame—guacamole mashed with edamame and served with tortilla chips.

Other steals include plump blackened shrimp with mango pico de gallo or the thin crust truffle cheese pizza. Chicken fans can get their fill of skewered chicken satay served with peanut dipping sauce, Buffalo chicken wings with jalapeno ranch dip and crudités, and Asian fusion chicken with peanut sauce, cilantro and pineapple.

Ditch the grocery shopping and cooking and take home dinner from HS Green. From satisfying entrée salads to rotisserie chicken or the HS Power Grill (grilled shrimp, chicken, flank steak or tofu served with brown rice), there is always something good for you.
