Tuscaloosa Bar & Food Specials Tonight: Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026
Tonight’s best verified deal is FIVE’s daily happy hour, 4–6 p.m. at the bar: half-price beer, well drinks and signature cocktails, plus $2 off wine by the glass. That window lands during the second half of Alabama vs. Texas A&M (2:30 p.m. kickoff, ABC). Jack Brown’s has its weekly Freestyle Burger, and The 205 is running its home-weekend Game Day menu. Saturday is light on posted deals, so the list is short.

You must be 21 or older to drink. Plan your ride before the first round. UA students can call 348-RIDE at 205-348-7433, or use a rideshare app. Game-day traffic downtown will be heavy, so expect longer waits.
