Halloween happy hour in NYC: drinks before the party, near the parties
Halloween is on a Saturday this year, and the parties cluster in Williamsburg, Bushwick, the Lower East Side and the West Village. These 8 bars there list a happy hour for that weekend: all of them on Saturdays, so check the card in case a bar changes its hours for Halloween. Go early in costume, then walk to the party.
Halloween tickets are the expensive part of the night. A happy hour near the party is the cheap part: we matched the neighborhoods with the most Halloween parties on October 30 and 31 to the bars there whose own sites list a Friday or Saturday happy hour that runs into the evening.
Williamsburg has 13 Halloween parties that weekend; Bushwick has 12 Halloween parties that weekend; the Lower East Side has 8 Halloween parties that weekend; the West Village has 6 Halloween parties that weekend. Each card below shows the bar's live happy-hour hours and prices; the Halloween parties are on the links further down.

Start with the happy hour, then head to the party: most Halloween parties open their doors later in the evening, and each party page shows its doors time. Halloween parties on October 31 and on October 30 are listed night by night.
Some happy hours are served at the bar only, and a bar can change its hours for Halloween. Check the card on the day, and bring a photo ID: bars and parties check it.
