On a Sunday night in NYC there are three ways to go out: happy hour, which 214 bars on our list run on Sundays (117 until 7pm or later), with drinks from $3; trivia, with 13 games at 13 bars; and parties, 14 nights in the next four weeks at Public Records, Somewhere Nowhere NYC and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Updated Nov 2, 2026.

Most guides to going out in New York are about the weekend. A Sunday is quieter, with fewer club nights, but we track the happy hours, trivia nights and parties that run on one: the deals from the bars' own sites, the games from the bars and hosts, and the parties from the ticket pages. This page puts them together, and it is recomputed every day.

Below: the Sunday parties for the next four weeks, the happy hours to start with (one pick per neighborhood), trivia, and the late deals.

Happy hour on a Sunday

214 bars on our list run a happy hour on Sundays, and 117 of them go until 7pm or later, so there is time after work. The cheapest drink among the deals we read in the last 30 days is $3; the typical cheapest is $7.

The picks below are one per neighborhood, scored on drink price, days, food and hours; the table at the end has the top 40, and every Sunday happy hour is on its own page with a map.

Trivia on Sunday nights

We track 13 trivia nights at 13 bars on Sundays, the first starting at 6pm. The most are in Astoria (2), Upper East Side (1) and Upper West Side (1). The times, hosts and prizes we could confirm are on Sunday trivia, and some of these bars run a happy hour during the game.

Late on a Sunday

19 bars on our list run a late happy hour on Sundays, starting at 9pm or later: Alfie's in Hell's Kitchen (4pm to 7pm and 11pm to close), Barfly in Gramercy (10pm to 4am), Bartley Dunne's in Times Square (11pm to close), Blue Haven in Kips Bay (10pm to 4am), Blue Seafood Bar in Hell's Kitchen (4pm to 7pm and 10pm to close) and Cafe Tallulah in Upper West Side (10pm to close). Reverse happy hours has them all.

Before you go

Every night here is 21 and up unless the listing says otherwise, and the door checks a government photo ID; visitors from outside North America should bring a passport. Bars and clubs can serve until 4am (what time bars close), and the subway runs all night.

Ticket prices on this page are the lowest we saw on each seller's page when we last checked it (most nights sell on DICE, which shows the price with fees). Drinks inside are extra: menu prices in NYC do not include the 8.875% sales tax, and the tip is a dollar or more a drink.
