LOCAL CUSTOMS · VICTORIA
How happy hour works in Victoria
Victoria prints an oyster hour the way Vancouver does, with a clock and a price on the venue's own page.
The rule
British Columbia allows a posted drink discount above a low minimum. A 2-for-1 drink is not allowed, so it is not on these cards. You must be 19. The menu price is before 5% GST and 7% PST, and before tip. See the Canada page.
The custom
Downtown does a long oyster window, 2 or 3 until 5 or 6, and one room repeats the food list after 9. A hotel bar on Burdett does 3:30 to 6. A page that names the hour and leaves the price off is not on this card.
Using the Atlas here
Every Victoria card in this first wave was read on the venue's own site in October 2026. A half dozen at $15 or $12 is that plate, not one oyster. Half price at The Commons is the dollar amount the page also prints.
