Why Sunday all day
Sunday Happy Hour at Shuck Taylor’s runs from open at 11:30 AM straight through close at 10 PM. No 2 to 5 window, no last call at the start of the evening. We made that call because Sunday is the day we want oysters and a glass of something cold to be the easiest decision you make all weekend. Almost nowhere else in downtown Victoria runs all day Sunday Happy Hour. We do, and it is the day the room is at its best.
