Upper West Side bar crawl: 5 happy hours on one walk
This Upper West Side bar crawl links 5 happy hours on one walk of about 12 minutes: The Ribbon, Harvest, Da Capo, Sarabeth's and The Wolfe. Every stop has a happy hour Monday to Friday, so those are the days it works. Start at The Ribbon, whose deal ends first, and finish at The Wolfe.
A bar crawl works best when every stop is still on its happy hour when you arrive. We built this Upper West Side route from the happy hours each bar publishes on its own site: 5 stops within a short walk of each other, all with a deal on the same days, in the order the deals end.
On a Tuesday, the first stop's happy hour runs 4pm–7pm and the last one's runs 11:30am–7pm. The Ribbon has food on the happy-hour list, so you can eat on the way. The cards below show each bar's live hours and prices; check them on the day.

When the crawl works
All 5 stops run a happy hour Monday to Friday. On the other days at least one stop has no deal, so the route is weaker. Times differ by day at some bars: the windows below are for Tuesday.
The Ribbon: 4pm–7pm. Harvest: 4pm–7pm. Da Capo: 5pm–7pm. Sarabeth's: 4pm–7pm. The Wolfe: 11:30am–7pm.
Getting there and back
The Ribbon is 1 minute from 72nd Street (B, C). From The Wolfe, 79th Street (1) is 3 minutes away.
The legs are 2 min, 3 min, 6 min and 1 min on foot, measured in a straight line at about 80 meters a minute, so allow a little more.
Before you go
Happy hours change. Each card shows the hours and prices we last read on the bar's own site and the date we read them; if a bar matters to your plan, check its page before you go. Some deals are served at the bar only.

Built from each bar's own published happy hour (last read 2026-10-19), recomputed every time the site updates: the route keeps bars whose happy hours share a weekday, joins them by the shortest walks (straight line, about 80 meters a minute) and orders them by when each deal ends.
