Your real-time guide to Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral and Port Canaveral, Florida.
Most bars and restaurants on A1A run happy hour from 3-7pm daily. $4 draft beers, $5 house cocktails, and $6 wine are standard. Some venues extend happy hour to 8pm on slower weekdays. The beach bars closest to the water tend to have the best deals because foot traffic is high and competition keeps prices honest.
The Tiki Lantern Bar runs daily happy hour 3-6pm with $4 drafts and a free third drink offer. Coral Reef Cantina has BOGO margaritas during afternoon hours. The Launch Pad Lounge offers a free appetizer with two cocktails from 5-7pm. All three are on or near A1A with outdoor seating and ocean breeze.
On Friday and Saturday nights, happy hour and live music overlap at several venues starting around 5-6pm. This is the best value on the strip — cheap drinks, free live music, outdoor ocean air. Most bands play 7-10pm, so arriving during happy hour means you catch the beginning of the music while prices are still low.
