It’s that part of the summer when the wallet really feels like it’s taken a hit. We’ve got you covered with five of the best happy hours in Kits that’ll keep your thirst quenched after hitting the beach all day, but not break the bank.
1. Colony Bar
Always a hit, Colony has one of the best happy hours in the city. With $4 highballs, $5 house red or white wine, and $4 pale ales, there’s something for everyone. Honestly there’s no better way to kick back after work than with some friends at Colony. And odds are, you’ll probably run into someone you know.
Happy hour: Monday-Friday 3-6pm
2. Chewies
A bit of a classier joint, Chewies Oyster Bar is another staple happy hours spot close to the beach in Kits. Our favourite part is that their weekday happy hour is after 5. Head down Yew and grab some beers on tap, some oysters or their awesome andouille poutine.
Happy hour: Monday-Thursday 5pm-7pm, Friday-Sunday 4-6pm
3. Castaway Bar
Some may say you can have too much of a good thing, but Margarita Mondays and Castaway’s $6 Margaritas at Happy Hour are too good to pass up! With tacos at $3.50 each, you almost have to head there on a weekday afternoon. They also have a killer patio right on 4th.
Happy Hour: Monday-Friday 3pm-6pm
4. Lucky Taco
This Mexican restaurant, right beside Kits Beach, is a fantastic spot for happy hour. After relaxing on the beach in the sun, quench your thirst with their fantastic $4-$6 menus. Our favourite combo is the spicy chorizo taco with a pink sangria. But if you’re feeling extra dehydrated, split one of their fish-bowls with a friend!
Happy Hour: Monday-Thursday 2pm-4pm, Friday-Sunday 2pm-5pm
5. The Cove
The quintessential Kits neighbourhood pub, the Cove is an awesome place for some chill happy hour drinks. With highballs at $5.50 and draft beers for $6.50, it’s an easy place to kick back. Also their weekly features offer discounts on select drinks for every day of the week!
Happy hour: Monday-Friday 3-6pm
