Best Thursday Deals in Guelph (2026)

Updated May 2026 · 4 min read

Thursday punches well above its weight in Guelph. It's the night Bad Luck Bar fills up with wing-hungry tables, Royal Electric pairs cheap wings with cheap pints, and Manhattan's takes half off every wine bottle on the list. If you time it right, Thursday is genuinely one of the best value nights in the city.

Bad Luck Bar — All-You-Can-Eat Wings, $21

This is the headline deal. Bad Luck Bar runs AYCE wings every Thursday from 5–10pm for $21. The atmosphere is dark and fun, the wings are good quality, and the $21 price point is hard to argue with when you can eat as many as you want. It gets busy — show up before 6pm if you don't want to wait for a table. Downtown Guelph.

Royal Electric — Half-Price Wings + $6 Farm League Pints

Royal Electric's Thursday special might be the best value-per-dollar deal on this list. Half-price wings and $6 Farm League pints running all day — not just in the evening. Farm League is a solid local lager that pairs exactly right with wings. If Bad Luck Bar is full, this is your backup plan, and it's barely a backup.

Manhattan's Bistro & Music — Half-Price Wine Bottles

If wings aren't what you're after, Manhattan's is the Thursday move. Half off every bottle of wine on the list, combined with a proper menu and usually live music, makes it one of the best date night options in Guelph any night of the week — let alone at half-price wine. Book a table if you're going on a busy Thursday.
