Red River Rivalry weekend is nearly here! The University of Texas at Austin football team will take on the University of Oklahoma at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. It’s one of the best rivalries in college football, and Oklahoma is currently undefeated.

If you’re planning on staying in town for the game, here’s a few deals you can try to catch:

🍺 Cheap Pints at Zilker Brewing Co.

Zilker Brewing Co. in East Austin is offering $2 off their mainstay pints and cocktails starting one hour before kickoff. The game will be shown on projectors inside and outside. You can also get $2 Jell-O shots and $5 la Barbecue picklebacks.

🤘 Beer Money at Pinthouse

This one is an easy win – similar to how Texas beat OU 34-3 last year – if you wear burnt orange to Pinthouse’s South Lamar location, you get $2 off Pinthouse pints during the game.

🍗 Free Wings at South Austin Beer Garden

Head down to South Austin Beer Garden, which is off Menchaca Road, on Saturday for free wings, raffle prizes, and more than 20 TVs airing the game!

🌭 $4 Hot Dogs at Uptown Sports Club

Hot dogs at Uptown Sports Club on game days start at $4 with a “Beertuni” purchase and go up to just $4.50. The Popped Blue Collar Dog comes with dijon, crispy shallots, and pickles and it sounds divine!

🏈 Deals at Fareground

Downtown food hall Fareground has a number of game day deals to choose from: Get six sliders from JABS burgers for $25 or six chicken wrap bites from Shawarma Point for $25. Dulce Vida margaritas are $9 on game days and buckets of six Lone Star Beers or White Claws will run you $25.
