Earls Bankers Hall

Calgary prints the hour the way Toronto and Vancouver do: an afternoon list, often a second one after 9, and a price on the venue’s own page.

The rule

Alberta allows a posted drink discount at any hour, above a low minimum price. A 2-for-1 is not allowed, so it is not on these cards. GST is 5%, with no provincial sales tax, and it is not in the menu price. A tip is extra. You must be 18. See the Canada page.

The custom

Downtown and Stephen Avenue run from about 2 or 3 until 5 or 6, then again after 9 in the lounge. Mission on 4th Street does the same shape: half-price wine, a cheaper cocktail, a short snack list. 17th Avenue is the longer neighborhood version. A steakhouse lounge and a hotel bar publish the same kind of card as a taco room.

Using the Atlas here

Every Calgary card in this first wave was read on the venue’s own site in October 2026. Half price is the discount the page prints. A line at $7 or $7.50 is one drink at that price. Where a chain has several Calgary rooms, one location is listed.

Across Canada

Canadian happy hour is the same shape as the American one — a posted afternoon window — with provincial minimum prices underneath it and a tax line that does not match the US bill.
