As Vancouver’s nightlife slowly stretches past dinner hour again, Social Corner is helping lead the charge. The hospitality group’s signature concept, already a Yaletown favourite, has officially launched Late-Night Happy Hour at both its Coal Harbour flagship and Yaletown location, giving Vancouverites a reason to linger a little longer after 9 p.m.
The move feels timely. In a city that’s been craving more after-dark options beyond clubs and dive bars, Social Corner is carving out a distinct space one that mixes European café culture, a buzzy bar energy, and sharply executed food and cocktails until close.
At Coal Harbour, the new location’s floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the marina, reflecting the glow of the skyline while the room hums with late-night conversation. Yaletown’s version, meanwhile, carries that same energy into the neighbourhood’s brick-and-beam heart—casual, social, and effortlessly stylish.
Late-night hours built for Vancouver’s night owls
The new Late-Night Happy Hour runs:
-
Sunday to Thursday | 9:00 p.m. – Close
-
Friday and Saturday | 10:00 p.m. – Close
Both locations offer the same signature mix of tapas, cocktails, and wines, priced for easy indulgence without sacrificing craft.
Classic cocktails meet Social Corner’s modern flair
The happy hour lineup reads like a love letter to classic European drinking culture, with a twist. Guests can sip on Negroni de la Costa (Empress Indigo, Bitter Bianco, orange bitters), the tropical-meets-elegant Caribbean Old Fashioned (Steamwheel Rum, Allspice syrup, Indie bitters), or the floral-forward Empress Bee’s Knees made with honey syrup and a saline drop for balance.
And of course, there’s the now-iconic Ciclo Espresso Martini ($15 during happy hour), a silky espresso-driven cocktail that’s become a group signature across Per Se Hospitality venues.
At $15 each, these cocktails offer a refined late-night experience without downtown’s typical price tag.
Tapas worth staying out for
Social Corner’s happy hour menu isn’t an afterthought, it’s an extension of the restaurant’s full European menu, distilled into shareable late-night bites. Highlights include:
-
Charred Ibérico Chorizo ($15) – grilled Spanish chorizo with piquillo marmalade and crème fraîche
-
Stracciatella e Alici ($15) – fresh Italian cheese layered with anchovies, EVOO, and balsamic
-
The Beef (Fab’s #1 Spicy Italian Beef) ($15) – a cult-favourite sandwich of braised beef, Fontina, truffle aioli, and pickles on house-baked baguette
-
Warm Mediterranean Olives and Marcona Almonds ($5 each) – perfect table starters that pair with anything poured
For those who linger until the final round, desserts like Tiramisu ($9.50) or the Affogato ($12) cap the night with something sweet and distinctly Italian.
Coal Harbour: the new heart of the Social Corner experience
The Coal Harbour location is quickly becoming the group’s flagship in both atmosphere and crowd. Steps from the seawall and surrounded by some of the city’s most striking architecture, it captures the sophistication of Vancouver’s waterfront while keeping the tone warm and convivial.
On any given night, the bar is lined with locals finishing the workday over small plates and travelers discovering that Vancouver’s social life extends well past sunset. It’s the kind of space the city has been missing, lively, design-forward, and distinctly West Coast in its blend of polish and ease.
Yaletown keeps the original vibe alive
While Coal Harbour sets the tone for Vancouver’s evolving hospitality scene, Social Corner Yaletown continues to anchor the brand’s identity, part neighbourhood haunt, part date-night destination. Its late-night happy hour mirrors the same energy, bringing people together over good drinks, good music, and a shared belief that Vancouver deserves spaces that stay up just a little later.
The social hour that keeps going
With $5 Peroni, $10 wines by the glass, and $15 signature cocktails, Social Corner’s late-night happy hour brings accessibility and style together in a way few Vancouver spots currently do. It’s casual enough for post-work drinks, elevated enough for date night, and designed to be, true to its name, a place to stay social.
Coal Harbour might be the new kid on the block, but together with Yaletown, it’s quietly redefining what nights out in Vancouver can look like.
