It has been a long day, perhaps even a long week, for many..  You feel overworked and underpaid. If you find this description suits you, keep reading.  This article will tell you more about two words everybody on a low budget salary loves to hear: “Happy Hour”.  What better way to unwind than to head to one of Hangzhou’s finest Happy Hours with a group of your closest friends?  Throw affordable cocktails and the best bars in town into the mix and there you have it – a formula that will be sure to satisfy both one’s yen for liquor and one’s wallet.

1) Eudora Station亿多瑞站

Located right on Nanshan Road, Eudora Station is the perfect place to find your way to after a hard day’s work or just a nice day at the lake.  Conveniently, their Happy Hour runs daily from 5 pm to 8 pm.  During this time, you can buy any drink on the menu and get a second drink free.  Being that their beers run around 25 RMB and mixed drinks 40 RMB, the bargain is self-evident!  Also, Wednesday night is Ladies’ Night which means that between 8 pm and midnight, all ladies can receive a 1 RMB cocktail simply for showing up! Not a bad deal. 

Surrounded by the mountains of West Lake, Eudora’s rooftop deck is the perfect place to come up to and relax.  So order some tapas; whether it be the Sautéed Broccoli and Cauliflower or the Chicken Skewer, and sip on your Long Island Ice Tea’s while taking in the lovely atmosphere.  The pizza and burgers also come highly recommended.

2) 7 Club 7俱乐部

Sitting at the base of Baochu Hill on Shuguang Road, 7 Club has become a staple for many expats living in Hangzhou.  It is convenient, comfortable, predictable (in a good sense), quaint, and most importantly, it is very affordable.  Happy Hour runs from 5:30 to 8:30 Monday through Friday.  During this time, all drinks are half off.  Due to the already low prices of drinks, the lure is strong.  The bartenders at 7 Club are notorious for making some of the strongest drinks in all of Hangzhou.  Order up the infamous gin and tonic and see for yourself! 

If you tend to shy away from the cocktails and stick to beer, 7 Club is definitely the place for you to get your drink on.  Tsingdao’s will cost you only 10 RMB during Happy Hour.  They also have quite the selection of imported beers.  At 35 RMB, they have beers such as Hoegaarden and Leffe.  And a bit pricier at 48 RMB but well worth shedding the few extra kuai, they offer Franziskaner, Paulaner, and Guinness.
