Earls Happy Hour is easily one of the best parts of the day. In fact, they hold Happy Hour not once but twice every day of the week. It's when you can order drinks and food at a fraction of what they usually cost – which is probably why it's so popular.
Each Earls Kitchen + Bar location has a slightly different Happy Hour menu, so, understandably, people have questions about exactly what's included and when Happy Hour is. We decided to answer a few of the most common questions here, so all you need to do is find an Earls near you and place your order!
What is Earls Happy Hour?
Twice a day, Earls Kitchen + Bar Restaurants hold specials on appetizers, entrées and (of course) drinks. Since a few Happy Hour items are 50% off, that's definitely something to be happy about!
When is Earls Happy Hour?
This can vary by location, but almost every single Earls in Canada holds Happy Hour twice a day: once in the afternoon (in time for after-work drinks) and again at night. Where I live, Earls Happy Hour happens every day from 3 to 6 PM and again from 9PM to close.
To see Earls Happy Hour times in your area, find a restaurant near you.
What is on the Earls Happy Hour menu?
Like Happy Hour start and end times, the Earls Happy Hour menu (as well as their regular food and drink menus) can vary by location. Every single restaurant has a regionally specific menu, which means you can usually try different dishes and drinks if you visit an Earls in another province.
No matter which Earls I'm at, though, I tend to stick to my favourites: Garlic Fries, Avocado Super Toast and an Old Fashioned to drink. What about you?
Do you need to sit in the lounge to order off the Happy Hour menu?
Technically, yes. Most Earls locations will only offer the Happy Hour menu in the lounge – so make sure you get a seat there if possible! During the summer, some locations will also offer it out on the patio, so head there if you want to sit outside.
Can I reserve a table for Earls Happy Hour?
In most cases, you can book a table during Happy Hour. If you do, you're guaranteed a place to sit in the lounge (so you'll definitely be able to score Happy Hour deals). To do so, you can call your local Earls or book a table online.
Can I still order Earls Daily Bar Features during Happy Hour?
Yes! If the drink you're craving isn't on the Happy Hour menu, you might still be able to get it for a few dollars off. Every day, Earls offers drink specials (called their Daily Bar Features). A full list is available online, but margaritas, wine and cocktail pitchers are usually included.
What is the Earls Brunch Happy Hour?
Get this: as of early 2018, some Earls restaurants also host a Brunch Happy Hour! Every Saturday and Sunday from open until noon, select locations offer discounts on brunch entrées, as well as brunch drink features – so it's just the excuse you need to wake up a little early!
Wondering anything else about Earls Happy Hour? Leave your questions in the comments!
The wings there during Happy Hour are great! Probably especially so as I was pregnant at the time...When I was living in Whistler, here in BC, the location there allowed you to order from the Happy Hour menu regardless of what seating section you were located
The menus I checked on their site specify that the Happy Hour items are available in the lounge only, but it's great to hear that some places make exceptions!
