A little goes a long way – and this sentiment is all too true when it comes to happy hour deals. Here’s our Foodie round up of some of the better deals around town that will keep you buzzing until payday. In no particular order:
Fatty Hour at Fatty Crab
Post-work, we’re often in need of a wee pick-me-up and Fatty Crab’s cocktails definitely do the trick. The cocktails’ names are nearly as awesome as the tipples themselves (Prison Sex, Fidelity, Drug Mule) and all these and more are available for $65 during the Fatty Hour on Tuesdays – Fridays between 5pm and 7pm. Also available during this time are beer ($35), wine by the glass ($50), house pours ($55) and bar bites ($40) including their fatty sliders, pork and veggie buns. On Wednesdays between 5pm – 11:30pm, why not linger a little longer for their “all you can eat pork and veggie buns” deal ($120), which pairs perfectly with a 6 pack of PBR beer ($120). So dig in and get a little messy. Check out our review of the restaurant here.

Prohibition Happy Hour at Lily & Bloom
During their “Prohibition Happy Hour”, Lily and Bloom will be bringing back the good old days where a single coin could buy you a drink.

All guests will also receive free fries (go on, you know you can’t say no to free fries). Every Monday to Friday from 5pm – 8pm and Saturdays from 6pm – 8pm. Anyone got any loose change?

Every day from 4pm – 8pm, The Dutch on Queen’s Road Central, offer happy hour seekers a unique wine and cheese tasting with a whole host of various wines and cheeses. $120 will get you 2 glasses of wine and a cheese platter including 2 types of cheese.
