Clinton Hill sits between Fort Greene and Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, running from Flushing Avenue down to Atlantic Avenue, with Pratt Institute on its northern side. Our list here is mostly one street: Fulton Street, where Belli Osteria, Emily, Famous Last Words, Xochitl Taqueria and Bati Ethiopian Kitchen line up within a few blocks of the C train. Hartley's is a short walk off Fulton on Putnam Avenue, and The Emerson is the outlier up on Myrtle Avenue, closer to the G.

Happy hour in Clinton Hill is a neighborhood-restaurant affair more than a bar crawl. Expect discounted pints and house wine at Famous Last Words, margaritas at Xochitl Taqueria, wings and house cocktails at Emily, and two-for-one drinks at Bati on Wednesday and Thursday. Belli Osteria is the one spot that runs every day, weekends included. Practical tip: Clinton-Washington Avenues on the C is a one-minute walk from three of these places, so two stops in one evening is easy.
