We’re starting this list with one of our fave spots in the city. Bodega on Main is the epitome of buzzy, intimate decor and Spanish-style tapas, serving up an array of discounted dishes ($12 Spanish calamari!!) and wine for $7-$10 from 10 pm to closing Sunday through Thursday. Oh, and $3 off all vermouths, if that’s your thing. This is a great date night spot if you need some inspo!
When:Â 10 pm to late Sunday to Thursday
Where: 1014 Main Street
The Boxcar
Another Vancouver staple, The Boxcar is a quintessential Main Street hang, complete with local brews, natural wines, a sprawling patio, and a late-night happy hour from 11 pm to closing from Tuesday to Thursday.
The bar is open from 5 pm to 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays, and until midnight on Sundays and weeknights. Happy hour is from 11 pm to late from Sunday to Thursday – in addition to their daily happy hour from 5 pm to 6 pm.
When:Â 11 pm to late Sunday to Thursday
Where:Â 923 Main Street

While technically not considered “late-night,” so to speak – happy hour at The Pawnshop in Gastown is all day on Sundays and Tuesdays – which gives folks extra flexibility when it comes to spontaneous plans. Enjoy delicious tacos for $2.49 a pop, and spiked slushies for less than $5.
When:Â All day Sundays and Tuesdays
Where:Â 1117 Granville Street

The Cambie is not only the oldest bar in Vancouver – it’s also a hotspot for drink deals and weekly events that should definitely be on your radar if you’re planning a group outing. Its happy hour lasts from 3 to 6 pm every day, plus from 9 pm to closing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Expect $5 beers, highballs, wines and snacks like Waffle Fry Nachos for $9.
When: 9 pm to closing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays
Where: 300 Cambie Street
Darby’s
A Kitsilano staple, the main draw of Darby’s is their rooftop patio. We think this is the spot to go when you have time for a pint in the middle of the afternoon because we hate waiting but love patios. Darby’s has the best beer selection on our Vancouver rooftop patio list – and who can resist the chill vibes of a Kits hang?
Darby’s is open until 1 am on weeknights, and until 2 am on weekends. Happy hour is from noon until 3 pm and 10 pm to closing every day.
When: 10 pm to closing every day
Where:Â 2001 MacDonald Street
Earls Kitchen + Bar – Robson
Earls is definitely known for their afternoon happy hours, but the restaurant chain also has drink & snack specials from 9 pm to closing at the majority – if not all – of its locations. We chose the spot on Robson Street for its proximity to other restaurants and shopping amenities, but you can always hop to a different Earls location.
When: 9 pm to closing every day
Where: 1185 Robson Street
Brewhall

If you’re looking for a mix of tasty food deals and craft beer specials, then look no further than Brewhall. The giant brewery boasts tables of all sizes and a variety of brews, wines, snacks, pizzas, and more on special. Just hit up their happy hour from 9 pm to close on Sunday through Thursday and experience the vibes at night. You won’t regret it.
When: 9 pm to closing Sunday to Thursday
Where: 97 East 2nd Avenue
And that’s a wrap on some great late-night happy hours to check out! Cheers.
