Deal last verified 2026-10-28. Confirmed on the venue’s own website.
Worth knowing 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.
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.
The vibe
The 18th-floor restaurant at the Chateau Victoria, with a daily 3:30-to-6.
