Top Five Happy Hours in Vancouver

Burgoo Bistro – 1100 Burrard Street (in the hotel)
Not only does Burgoo boast an excellent happy hour menu from 3pm – 6pm each day with 20% off all starters and $6.50 drinks, they’ve also introduced a brand new “Fun and Frugal” menu filled with $5 options! Available from 3 pm to close, you can grab a seat on the patio and enjoy a $5 glass of wine or beer while you tuck into snacks like mini-corn dogs, pizza pretzels, and chips and dip.

Homer St. Cafe – 898 Homer Street (Yaletown)
Over at the French brasserie-style Homer St. Cafe, they’re not dumbing things down just because it’s happy hour. Along with $7 wine and bubbles and $5 beer, you get to choose from a menu of items such as chicken fried oyster mushrooms ($16), salt and pepper chicken wings ($12), and Manilla clams ($18). Available daily between 2:30 and 5:30 pm.

Provence Marinaside – 1177 Marinaside Crescent (Yaletown)
With a location that overlooks False Creek, Provence is always a great choice for an afternoon tipple. But during happy hour, it’s even more of a no-brainer! From 3 pm to 5 pm each day, sip on lovely BC wines from $8/glass, or beer, cider or a cocktail (from $7), and nibble on tapenade with house-made crostini ($8), avocado with baby shrimp ($8) and escargot Provençal ($15).

The Three Brits Public House – 1780 Davie Street (West End)
Sitting right at the corner of Davie and Denman streets with a prime view of English Bay, the Three Brits is a great place to toast the end of the day. Their happy hour runs 3 pm – 6 pm, Monday through Friday, with beers starting at $5.50, and classic cocktails for just $10. Snack on pork steamed buns ($3 each) or their rosemary fries ($9), or make it an early dinner with a $15 burger.

Como Taperia – 201 East 7th Ave (Mt Pleasant)
Not within walking distance, but definitely worth the effort is Como Taperia, a spot in the Mt Pleasant neighbourhood that will immediately transport you to Spain! From 4 pm – 5 pm each day, you can start your evening right with drink specials like fino sherry ($8), vermouth ($8) or beer ($6), as well 25% off all food. But enjoy your drinks at the bar and you’ll also be treated to little free tapas – just like in Spain!
