General Happy Hour Tips for Cheltenham

1. Midweek is King

Most happy hours run Monday to Thursday or Sunday to Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays are premium drinking nights, so venues rarely discount then (except Cosy Club's late-night Friday deal).

2. Arrive Early

Happy hours often end at 7pm or 8pm. If you want to maximize savings, arrive right when it starts (usually 4pm or 5pm) and settle in.

3. Ask About "Reverse Happy Hour"

Some bars run late-night happy hours (like Cosy Club's 10pm-late Friday deal). Perfect if you're heading out after dinner and want cheaper cocktails before the club.

4. Check Social Media

Venues announce special happy hour extensions, one-off deals, and themed nights on Instagram and Facebook. Follow your favourite spots to stay in the loop.

5. Student Discounts Often Beat Happy Hour

If you're a student, your ID might get you 20-25% off all day every day at places like BrewDog, which is often better than happy hour pricing. Always ask which deal is better.

6. Loyalty Apps Matter

• Brasserie Blanc's Le Club app unlocks 50% off main courses
• Harvester's Flavour Rewards gives 25% off your food bill
• PizzaExpress Club saves you money on set menus

Download the apps for your favourite spots – they often include drink deals too.

The Bottom Line

Cheltenham's happy hour scene is strong, varied, and genuinely good value. Whether you're after craft beer for £3.50, cocktails for half price, or just want to stretch your drinking budget a bit further, there's a happy hour for you.

The Brewery Quarter is your happy hour hub – Cosy Club, Brewhouse & Kitchen, and the surrounding bars mean you can literally pub-crawl through multiple happy hours in one evening. All Bar One and Brasserie Blanc offer more upscale options if you want something a bit fancier, while Wetherspoons keeps it cheap and cheerful all day long.

Pro tip: Save this guide to your phone, check the times before you head out, and never pay full price for a pint again. Your wallet will thank you.

Now get out there and make the most of those discounted drinks. Cheers! 🍻
