Greenwich Village Bar Crawl: West 3rd Street to Houston Street
For a greenwich village bar crawl on happy hour, go on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and walk four stops: Spicy Moon on West 3rd Street, Foursome on Jones Street, Emily on Downing Street and Houston Hall on West Houston Street. The whole walk is under a kilometer, and the deals hand off from late afternoon at Spicy Moon to the evening at Houston Hall.
Greenwich Village has more happy hours than its size suggests. Our list counts 33 bars in the neighborhood, and 22 bars with a happy hour sit within 400 meters of Foursome on Jones Street, the second stop on this route. The windows here are short, though, and many end in the early evening, so a Village crawl only works if you start on time and walk toward the later deals.
This route does that in four stops. It begins on West 3rd Street in the blocks near Washington Square, crosses to Jones Street, drops down to Downing Street and ends on West Houston Street, where the last happy hour runs the longest. Along the way you get sake and a lychee martini, a one-price spritz or margarita, a pizza restaurant's wings, and beer by the liter.
These are different blocks and different bars from our West Village bar crawl and from the bars we picked for the Village Halloween Parade. The live prices and exact hours are on each pick card below; check them before you set out.

Beer (Golden Dragon Lager) $7 · Wine (house red or white) $7
Mon–Thu, Sun 4pm–6pm · 68 West 3rd Street · West 4th Street–Washington Square (A, B, C, D, E, F, M)Start at Spicy Moon on West 3rd Street. Its happy hour runs Sunday through Thursday in the late afternoon and is drinks only: Golden Dragon lager, house red or white wine, a house spritz, a lychee martini, Itami Onigoroshi cup sake and a ginger lychee refresher. Go as soon as the window opens, because the next stop's deal ends at the same time. West 4th Street-Washington Square is a four-minute walk.

$6 drinks (wine, spritzes, margarita)
Mon–Fri 4pm–6pm · 9 Jones St · West 4th Street–Washington Square (A, B, C, D, E, F, M)Walk about six minutes west to Foursome Bar and Restaurant on Jones Street, two minutes from the West 4th Street station. Its happy hour runs Monday through Friday on the same late-afternoon schedule as Spicy Moon, and it keeps things simple: wine, spritzes and margaritas at one happy hour price, plus small bites at another. It takes reservations, but a quick round at happy hour should not need one.

house cocktail $2 off · beer $1 off
Mon–Thu 5pm–6:30pm · 35 Downing Street · Houston Street (1)Emily, a pizza restaurant at 35 Downing Street, is about four to five minutes south. Its happy hour runs Monday through Thursday, starts later than the first two stops and ends in the early evening. The deal takes money off house cocktails, beer and wine, and Hot Nguyen's Wings, so this is the place to eat something before the last stop. The Houston Street station on the 1 is two minutes away.

Its happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday from late afternoon into the evening, the longest window on the route. It covers beer in three sizes up to a liter, wine, cocktails and frozen drinks, plus an empanada sampler, a slider trio and a personal cheese pizza.

Which days the route works
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the only days when all four stops run happy hour. Monday drops Houston Hall, whose weekday deal starts on Tuesday. Friday drops both Spicy Moon, which runs Sunday through Thursday, and Emily, which stops after Thursday. On Saturday none of the four has a window.
That makes this a midweek crawl. Pick the day first, then check the four cards above for that day's hours, since each bar sets its own window. If your night falls on a Friday or a Sunday, the last section has versions that work.
How to time it
Spicy Moon and Foursome share the same late-afternoon window, and both end in the early evening at the same moment. That is the tight part of the route: arrive at Spicy Moon as the deal opens, keep it to one round, and walk on to Foursome with time to spare.
Emily's window opens later than the first two and ends a little after them, so it is the natural third stop. Houston Hall runs the longest of the four, well into the evening, which is why it closes the night. If you are late, skip Spicy Moon and start at Foursome. If you can only make it after work, go straight to Emily and Houston Hall, which are less than two minutes apart.
The walking is short enough that you can spend about half an hour at each of the first three and still reach Houston Hall with plenty of happy hour left.
The route, stop by stop
The first leg is the longest: about 470 meters from Spicy Moon on West 3rd Street to Foursome on Jones Street, about six minutes. From Foursome it is about 360 meters to Emily on Downing Street, four to five minutes. The last leg is about 110 meters to Houston Hall on West Houston Street, under two minutes.
In total, the crawl is about 940 meters, or roughly 12 minutes of walking. We measure straight lines between each bar's coordinates at about 80 meters per minute, so add a minute for corners and crossings.
Each stop has a different strength. Spicy Moon is the cocktail and sake stop, Foursome is the one-price stop, Emily is the food stop, and Houston Hall is the beer stop, with liters on the list and three kinds of bar food to share.
If your day does not fit
On a Friday, swap two stops. Start at Foursome, walk about 140 meters to Little Havana on Cornelia Street, where the happy hour covers nachos and fries at the bar only, Monday through Friday. Then go about 260 meters to Judy Z's Sports Tavern & Kitchen on Seventh Avenue South, which runs happy hour Wednesday through Friday with beers, mixed drinks and frozen drinks. Houston Hall is about 110 meters from there to finish.
On a Sunday, pair Spicy Moon with Pepe Rosso on Sullivan Street, about 310 meters away, which lists beer and house wine at happy hour every day. Houston Hall's own site lists happy hour all day on Sunday, and it is about 300 meters from Pepe Rosso. For more options on the day, the table below lists happy hours near the route, closest first.

Questions
Which day is best for a Greenwich Village bar crawl?
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Those are the only days when all four stops on this route run happy hour: Houston Hall has no Monday deal, and Spicy Moon and Emily have none on Friday.
Can I do this crawl on a Friday?
Yes, with two swaps. Start at Foursome, then go to Little Havana on Cornelia Street and Judy Z's Sports Tavern & Kitchen on Seventh Avenue South, and finish at Houston Hall. All four run happy hour on Friday.
How long does the crawl take?
Plan on about two and a half hours. The walking is about 12 minutes over roughly 940 meters, and the rest is one round and about half an hour at each stop, with a longer finish at Houston Hall.
Do I need reservations?
No, you can walk in at all four stops for happy hour. Spicy Moon and Foursome take bookings, and their cards above have the link if you want a table for a group.
How is this different from the West Village bar crawl?
It uses different bars and different blocks. The West Village crawl runs along Hudson, Bank, Perry and Christopher Streets, while this route goes from West 3rd Street across Jones and Downing Streets to West Houston Street, with none of the same stops.
Which subway stations are closest to the start and end?
Start at West 4th Street-Washington Square (A, B, C, D, E, F, M), four minutes from Spicy Moon. Finish at Houston Street on the 1, one minute from Houston Hall.
How we put this together
We built the route from our database of New York happy hours, which records each bar's schedule and offers from the bar's own website. The four stops, and the Friday and Sunday alternatives, were last checked between October 19 and October 22, 2026. Counts of Greenwich Village bars and nearby happy hours come from the same database on October 23, 2026. Walking times are straight-line distances between bar coordinates at about 80 meters per minute, so real walks can run a little longer. Subway stations and walking times come from each bar's listing.
