Cheapest way to do Saturday night

Get to FIVE’s bar before 6 p.m. Half-price drinks there are the only Saturday drink discount we could confirm downtown. Heat Pizza Bar’s happy hour does not run on Saturdays. After 6, plan on full price everywhere. Our Tuscaloosa bars and nightlife guide covers where to go after that.
