Savor the Sun with Okto’s New Happy Hour

Savor the Sun with Okto’s New Happy Hour

THE WEATHER IS changing, and soon, so will the time! Make the most of that extra hour of sun at Montrose’s Okto. This Mediterranean hotspot, located in Montrose Collective and part of Sof Hospitality — a group nominated for the prestigious 2025 James Beard Award in the competitive Outstanding Restaurateur category — is rolling out a new happy hour to enjoy on their urban-chic patio.

Monday Funday — yes, it’s totally a thing — is now in full swing with happy hour prices all day and 50% off all bottles of wine! Regular happy hour runs Monday through Thursday from 5–7 p.m., with $12 cocktails, $10 wines and delicious bites.

Bask in the warmer weather with an Okto G&T ($12), served ice cold with shishito pepper-infused gin, a citrus-y Italian liqueur, and tonic. There's also an espresso martini ($12) and sangria ($12) on the happy hour menu.

Chef Yotam Dolev doesn’t skimp on happy hour food. The Instagram-worthy tuna tartare ($16) is served in a bowl with sweet white soy sauce. And the bread service ($7) includes creamy pistachio butter, olives, and pickled peppers. Cheers!
