Read the small print
A food special can require a drink purchase or a minimum order, or apply only at the bar. When a bar states a condition it is on the bar’s page; when it does not, we do not assume one, so ask when you order.

How we put this together
Each bar’s happy hour was read from its own website or menu on September 1 to 3, 2026. On October 14 we fetched every page again: where the same prices still appear in the page text, the table says so; most menus are images, PDFs or load with JavaScript, so they could not be re-confirmed automatically and keep their September date. Prices are menu prices before NYC sales tax (8.875%) and tip. A $0.99 wings deal on our list is a weekly special rather than a happy hour, so it is not in the text.
