Does Olive Garden Have a Happy Hour?
No. Olive Garden's store listings include a happy hour flag for locations that run one, and it is switched off at every US restaurant in our weekly data. Drink prices are the same at 3 PM as at 8 PM. Franchise operated stores overseas sometimes run bar promotions, but the US company owned restaurants do not.
Olive Garden Drink Prices
The dining room pours the same wines sold on the wine and beer to go list. By the bottle to go, moscatos and pinot grigio cost $25.50, Chianti Classico $30.00 and Meiomi pinot noir $33.75; glasses in the restaurant are priced per pour on the table menu. Bottled beers are $5.99 and Heineken 0.0 is $6.29. Non alcoholic drinks run from $3.69 for the half tea and half lemonade to $4.79 for the limonatas.

|---|---|---|
| Primo Amore moscato (bottle) | $25.50 | 630 |
| Cavit pinot grigio (bottle) | $25.50 | 620 |

Bottle prices from the to go menu at the typical US price; dining room glass prices vary by location.
Cheapest Drink and Appetizer Pairings
A bottle of Bud Light at $5.99 with dipping sauces with breadsticks at $4.49 is the lowest priced bar style order on the menu. Fried mozzarella at $9.29 or toasted ravioli at $10.29 split between two with a glass of wine is the next step up.
Weekday Lunch: The Real Afternoon Deal
The closest thing Olive Garden has to happy hour pricing is the weekday lunch window. Until 3 PM Monday through Friday the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks costs $10.49 and lunch sized entrées start at $11.49. Add a glass of wine and the bill still lands below a dinner entrée.
Local Exceptions
A handful of restaurants attached to malls or hotels occasionally post their own bar specials. The store's page on olivegarden.com and its listing in our store locator show the happy hour flag when one exists; as of this week none do.
Alcohol To Go
Where state law allows, sealed bottles of wine and beer can be added to a pickup order with ID at collection. Delivery orders generally exclude alcohol. The wine and beer to go menu lists every bottle.
