Highballs happy hour
in the Bow Valley.

Highball is Bow Valley shorthand for any spirit-and-mixer combo at the well-drink price point. Most pubs run a daily highball night somewhere in the week — typically Caesar Sundays, Mojito Mondays, or vodka-soda specials timed to après. Expect prices in the $5–7 range for a 1.5oz pour. Venues like the Banff Ave Brewing pub, Tavern 1883, and Hooligan's run rotating highball deals that are worth checking the day-of rather than relying on a fixed schedule.
