Ontario once banned the terms "Happy Hour" and "Cheap Drinks" from licensee advertising. In Info Bulletin No. 56, dated May 6, 2019, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario said it removed that restriction from its Liquor Advertising Guidelines. According to TodaysTab's checks on October 31, 2026, we track 432 active venues across four Toronto regions, 173 list specials, and 138 passed our rules (confidence 0.7 or higher, verified within 45 days, a stated day or time). Of 71 venues with a timed happy hour, 15 run 2 to 5 PM, the most common window, ahead of 4 to 6 PM (12) and 5 to 7 PM (11). Four venues run a window starting at 9 PM or later.
