People often stereotype working holiday-makers with statements about how they like to drink. We know this is an offensive generalisation and not in the least bit true. A more reasonable and truthful statement that we’re proud to make is that they all like to drink cheaply.

So we thought we’d help them out with a list of some of Melbourne’s best happy hour deals for every day of the week from all areas of the city.

As there’s so many happy hour deals to choose from, we’ve limited the list to just drink specials. And we’re using the principle that the cheaper, the better (so there’s none of those $9 pint so-called “specials”). Anything more than $6 for a pint is exorbitant, right?

(And if you’re heading up to Brisbane, you’ll want to check our list of their happy hours as well.)
