Cocktails happy hour
in the Bow Valley.

Cocktail happy hours range from $8 margaritas at Mexican spots like El Toro to thoughtful spirit-forward menus at hotel bars in Banff. Most venues drop the price on a rotating list of two or three classics — usually a margarita or paloma, an old fashioned or boulevardier, and a seasonal spritz. Park Distillery makes its own gin and runs a daily 3–6pm deal that's hard to beat. For après-ski crowds, look at Sky Bistro and Three Ravens at the Banff Centre — the cocktail-and-view combo at sunset is a signature Bow Valley experience.
