CRAFT Beer Market’s birthday page says “Celebrate your birthday at CRAFT and we’ll discount your age from your bill.” Turn 30 and it’s 30% off, turn 45 and it’s 45% off, with a valid ID and a table on the day itself.
What CRAFT Beer Market Is
CRAFT is a restaurant and beer hall chain with “10 locations. 8 cities.” The About page says founder PJ L’Heureux opened the first one in 2011 in “Calgary’s historic downtown,” and the chain has “grown across Canada, from British Columbia to Ontario’s east coast, and have now brought our passion for craft beer to the U.S.” The locations page lists Calgary (three), Edmonton, Kelowna, Ottawa, Toronto, Victoria, two in Vancouver (English Bay at 1795 Beach Avenue and False Creek at 85 West 1st Avenue), and one in Dallas, Texas, called “our flagship US location.”
How To Get The CRAFT Birthday Discount
There’s nothing to sign up for. Book a table, show up on your birthday and bring ID. The terms on the birthday page read: “Valid only on actual birthday with valid ID,” “Dine-in only,” and “Discount applies to food and beverages for the birthday guest only.” The page has a Book a Table button at the top, and the reservation widget lets you pick any location.
What The Discount Is Worth
The page spells out the math: “Discount is percentage off in accordance to birthday age (ex. 30th birthday = 30% discount).” That means the older you get, the bigger the cut. On a 100 dollar food and drink bill, a 28th birthday takes 28 dollars off and a 50th takes half. The saving applies to your own food and drinks, not to the rest of the table.
What It Doesn’t Cover
The page lists the exclusions: “Not valid with Happy Hour, Daily Features, or any other discounts.” It adds that the “Discount does not apply to alcohol in Ontario locations.” Since the bill is the birthday guest’s food and drinks, a beer hall birthday in Toronto or Ottawa gets the cut on the plate only.
Is The Dallas Location Included?
The birthday page doesn’t name the cities where it works. It carves out Ontario alcohol and says nothing else about specific locations, and Dallas appears in the same location list as the rest of the chain. The page doesn’t say it applies there, though. If you’re booking in Dallas, call the restaurant before the day to confirm.
What The Old Post Claimed
An earlier version of this post framed it as a Vancouver restaurant, said the discount worked on weekdays and told readers to tell the staff it’s their birthday. The page names no weekday limit and no staff mention. It says the discount is valid on your actual birthday, with ID, dine-in only.
What Was Actually Checked
CRAFT Beer Market’s birthday discount page (the Canadian and .com addresses return the same text), About page and locations page were read on 2026-10-08. The pages carry no date, no minimum spend and no cap on the discount, and they don’t say whether tax and tip are included in the base.
Eligibility and Cost
No membership and no sign-up. You need a valid ID and to eat in on the actual birthday.
