Bartender Zoe Way serves up a happy hour pint at the Brighton Pub in Hastings-Sunrise.

It’s no secret that we live in an expensive, almost unaffordable city. But savvy Vancouverites know that it doesn’t have to be that way.

Thanks to legislation passed by the provincial government last year, bars, pubs, and restaurants are now able to offer happy hour pricing on alcohol, as well as food.

So we here at Westender have compiled the ultimate guide to happy hour in Vancouver: The best deals and best drinks at all the best bars.

Living in the city ain’t cheap, but at least you don’t have to be sober.
