cocktails for happy hour

Happy Hours

It's 5 o'clock somewhere...

The happiest of hours, where you can drink & eat on the cheap. It used to be that only the after-work crowd got to enjoy happy hour specials, today the specials are often and varied. "Reverse happy hour" for the after 9 pm crowd during the week is now a thing, in case you haven't been out in a while. We've compiled a few of our favourites here for you, and why we love them.

Some of our favourite 'fancier' Happy Hours...

 Branches

Located in Greenland Greenhouse, this is a great spot to enjoy a vino - especially in the summer. We enjoy the garden vibe. Happy hour from 3 pm - 6 pm Monday to Thursday. They also offer special date night menus, weekend brunch and gluten free pizza! *The menu and hours change seasonally so check before you go to avoid disappointment.

mussels

Cafe Celeste

W: https://www.cafecelestebistro.ca/ 

Friday to Sunday from 2 - 5 pm for the cheapest deals. Love a little Italian ambiance and the delicious home made food from this local family run business. They also offer mussels for just $12 on Mondays and Thursdays.

Chop Steakbites

Chop (Sherwood Park)

W: https://chop.ca/

We love Chop for after-hours wine and appies and big comfy booths. Happy hour from 3-6 pm or 9 pm on. Best steak bites in Sherwood Park, and trust us, we've tried them all.

Joey Sherwood

Ridiculously good food any time of day, exceptional service. Happy hour from 2 - 5 pm; up to 50% off bottles of wine every Tuesday. Our pick for sharing is the Japanese Gyoza, but there are no mistakes on Joey menu. They are busy daily for a reason.

Vickys Wine Bar

Vicky's Bistro Wine Bar

W: https://vickys.ca/

Social daily from 2 - 5 pm; wine 20% off and $2 off any of the appies. We love every appetizer, but the Grecian Caprese, Prawns a la Vicky, and Lamb Lollipops are our favs. Summertime, it's great to sit outside, enjoy some great company and watch the world go by.
