Drop in to these elevated happy hours at our bar partners across the city during Toronto Cocktail Festival

Between the daytime seminars and evening events, head straight to one of our TCF bar partners to enjoy these elevated happy hours based on the French concept of the “cinq à sept”—5 to 7 pm, the playful hours between work and family life. (Hours vary though, so check with the venues for times.)

Expect TCF signature cocktails, snacks, entertainment, socializing and more.

Note that these events are not ticketed; however, some establishments may recommend reservations, so call ahead to secure a seat.

Toronto Cocktail Festival Cinq à Sept happy hours run nightly, October 18-25.
