Financial District Bar Crawl: Fulton Street to Pearl Street After Work
For a financial district bar crawl after work, go any weekday, Monday to Friday, and walk five happy hours in this order: Sadie's on Fulton Street, Industry Kitchen on South Street, Full Shilling on Pearl Street, then Route 66 Smokehouse and Lucky Tiger, a few doors apart on lower Pearl Street. All five run their deal every weekday from the afternoon, the first two close earliest, and no walk between stops takes more than about four minutes.
Downtown happy hour is timed for people leaving the office. Of the 19 Financial District bars on our list, 16 run a happy hour on all five weekdays, and 11 of them open the deal by mid-afternoon. The catch is that most of those windows also end in the early evening, so a crawl here has to start promptly and move in the right direction.
This route does that. It starts near the Fulton Street hub, where the two earliest-closing deals sit, then works south and west along Pearl Street and finishes by the Whitehall Street station, where the last two stops keep their prices running the longest. Five bars, under a kilometer of walking, and a mix that runs from a garden spritz to draught beer at a pub, frozen drinks at a smokehouse and a shot-and-beer combo at an Asian bar.
The pick cards below carry the live prices and the exact hours for each stop. Use this guide for the order, the days and the walking, and check the cards before you leave your desk.

$10 spritz
Mon–Fri 3pm–6pm · 19 Fulton St · Fulton Street (2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, Z)Start at Sadie's on Fulton Street. The happy hour here is a single drink, a spritz at the garden bar, Monday through Friday from mid-afternoon to early evening. It shares the earliest closing time on the route with the next stop, so come straight from work and keep it to one round. The Fulton Street hub, with the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J and Z trains, is about five minutes away.

Draft Beer $8 · Wines $10
Mon–Fri 3pm–6pm · 70 South Street · Wall Street (2, 3)Walk about three minutes to Industry Kitchen, an American restaurant on South Street. Its weekday window runs on the same schedule as Sadie's, so treat the two as your first hour. The happy hour list covers draft beer, wines, margaritas and both Aperol and Hugo spritzes, which makes it the most varied drinks stop of the five. Wall Street on the 2 and 3 is a five-minute walk.

Draught $8 · Cocktails $6
Mon–Fri 4pm–7pm · 160 Pearl St · Wall Street (2, 3)Full Shilling is a pub at 160 Pearl Street, about three minutes from Industry Kitchen. Its weekday happy hour starts later than the first two stops and runs into the early evening, so it is the natural first stop if you get out of the office late. Wine, draught beer, bottles and cans, and cocktails are all on the list. Wall Street on the 2 and 3 is two minutes away.

beer $6 · wines $9
Mon–Fri 3pm–7pm · 79 Pearl Street · Whitehall Street–South Ferry (1, R, W)Route 66 Smokehouse is about four minutes south at 79 Pearl Street. Its happy hour runs Monday through Friday from mid-afternoon into the early evening, with beer, wines, well drinks and frozen drinks, and the bar's own site adds specialty martinis on Mondays. It takes bookings, which helps if your group outgrows a few bar stools. Whitehall Street-South Ferry on the 1, R and W is three minutes away.

Select cocktail $17 · Select wine $13
Mon–Fri 3pm–7pm · Mon–Fri 10pm to close · 66 Pearl St · Whitehall Street–South Ferry (1, R, W)Finish a minute away at Lucky Tiger, 66 Pearl Street, where the happy hour is served at its Dragon Bar & Night Market. The weekday list has a select cocktail, mocktails, select wine and a Kirin and shochu shot combo, plus a large platter that feeds four to six. It is the only stop with a second window, from late evening until close, if you want a nightcap after dinner.

Which days the route works
All five stops run happy hour Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so any weekday works. Monday has a small bonus, because Route 66 Smokehouse lists specialty martinis that day.
The route does not work on a weekend. None of the five lists a Saturday or Sunday window, and only 5 of the 19 Financial District bars on our list run a deal on Saturdays at all. If you are downtown on a weekend, see the last section for a short version that does work.
How to time it after work
The order follows the clock. Sadie's and Industry Kitchen open their deals in the mid-afternoon and close first, so they lead. Full Shilling starts later and runs into the early evening. Route 66 Smokehouse and Lucky Tiger open in the afternoon and keep going until early evening, which makes the Pearl Street pair the safe place to end.
If you leave work at the end of a normal day, you may only catch the tail of the first two windows. In that case, skip ahead: start at Full Shilling and do the last three stops, which together are well under half a kilometer of walking. If you can leave early on a Friday, do all five and plan on about half an hour at each.
Lucky Tiger is the one bar that brings its deal back late at night, from late evening until close. That gives you an option the other stops do not: have dinner nearby after the crawl, then return to Lucky Tiger for one more round at happy hour prices.
The route, stop by stop
From Sadie's on Fulton Street to Industry Kitchen on South Street is about 260 meters, roughly three minutes. Industry Kitchen to Full Shilling on Pearl Street is about 250 meters, another three minutes. The longest leg is next: about 310 meters south along Pearl Street to Route 66 Smokehouse, close to four minutes. Lucky Tiger is about 80 meters further, a one-minute walk.
Add it up and the whole crawl is about 890 meters, or around 11 minutes on your feet. We measure point to point between each bar's coordinates at about 80 meters a minute, and downtown streets bend, so allow a little extra.
The drinks change at every stop. You get a spritz at Sadie's garden bar, a broad list with margaritas and spritzes at Industry Kitchen, draught beer and cocktails at Full Shilling, frozen drinks and well drinks at Route 66 Smokehouse, and a beer and shot combo at Lucky Tiger.
Getting there and getting home
Begin at Fulton Street, which our listing puts about five minutes from Sadie's and which serves the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J and Z trains. With eight lines stopping there, it is an easy place to meet a group coming from different offices.
The route ends near Whitehall Street-South Ferry on the 1, R and W, two minutes from Lucky Tiger and three from Route 66 Smokehouse. Wall Street on the 2 and 3 is also two minutes from Full Shilling, if you drop out halfway.
If your day does not fit
On a Saturday or Sunday, stay near the start. Urban Cove Society & Kitchen on Peck Slip, about 210 meters from Sadie's, runs its happy hour every day with beer, select wine and featured cocktails. Fresh Salt on Beekman Street, about 130 meters from Urban Cove, lists happy hour specials every day as well, so the two make a short weekend pair.
On Monday to Thursday, you can add a stop. Mad Dog and Beans sits next door to Route 66 Smokehouse at 83 Pearl Street and serves margaritas, house wine and Mexican beer at happy hour, at the bar only. Toro Loco on Stone Street, under two minutes from Lucky Tiger, is a weekday alternative with its own lager and frozen margaritas, though its window closes early. For more choices on the day, the table below lists happy hours near the route, closest first.

Questions
Which day is best for a Financial District bar crawl?
Any weekday works, Monday through Friday. All five stops on this route run happy hour on every weekday, and Monday adds specialty martinis at Route 66 Smokehouse. The route does not work on Saturday or Sunday.
I leave work late. Can I still do the crawl?
Yes, start at Full Shilling and do the last three stops. Sadie's and Industry Kitchen close their deals first, while Full Shilling, Route 66 Smokehouse and Lucky Tiger run into the early evening, and Lucky Tiger adds a late-night window.
How long does the crawl take?
Plan on about two and a half to three hours for all five stops. The walking is only about 11 minutes over roughly 890 meters; the rest is one round and around half an hour at each bar.
Do I need reservations?
No, you can walk in for happy hour at every stop. Route 66 Smokehouse and Lucky Tiger take bookings, and their cards above have the link if you are bringing a larger group.
Which subway stations are closest to the start and end?
Start at Fulton Street (2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, Z), about five minutes from Sadie's. Finish at Whitehall Street-South Ferry (1, R, W), two minutes from Lucky Tiger.
How we put this together
The stops come from our database of New York happy hours, which stores each bar's schedule and offers as published on the bar's own website. The five bars on this route, and the alternatives in the last section, were last checked between October 17 and October 23, 2026. Counts of Financial District bars come from the same database on October 23, 2026. Walking distances are straight lines between bar coordinates at about 80 meters per minute, so expect real walks to run a little longer. Stations and station walking times come from each bar's listing.
