Including a glass of bubbles for $5, chicken wings for $1 a pop, and $10 Frozen Margs.
If ever there was an extra incentive for finishing work on time, it has to be making it to Happy Hour. With so many bars offering significant discounts on quality drinks and snacks from about 4pm to 6pm, especially on weekdays, you’ll reap the rewards by turning up a little earlier than usual. If you thought your days of perching at a bar and ordering delicious things were behind you, think again. We’ve done the research and found some genuinely good deals.
In Melbourne’s Collingwood, The Fox Hotel offers pints, glasses of wine and some snacks for $9 each on weekdays from 3pm to 6pm. In Brunswick, The Cornish Arms Rooftop Bar serves $7 wines, beers and seltzers daily from 4pm to 6pm, alongside Frozen Margaritas for $10. If you prefer things a touch fancier, head to Nick and Nora’s in the CBD on a Friday and pay just $5 for a glass of fizz from their Champagne tower (4pm-6pm). It goes particularly well with their half-price oysters.
Be sure to stay on top of your favourite venue’s socials because deals and prices change all the time. You’ll also catch any weekly specials ($1 chicken wings at Full Moon Fever on Thursdays, perhaps?) that will also save you some cash. To get you started, we’ve rounded up some of the best Happy Hours deals around Melbourne below – take your pick.
