Friday Happy Hours in NYC

Updated · refreshes daily

In short: 750 bars in NYC run a happy hour on Fridays, 508 with the deal spelled out. The cheapest drink we have on file: $1 at Inwood Bar & Grill. Most start at 4pm. Most are in Midtown, East Village, Upper West Side.

Friday has fewer happy hours than Thursday on our list, partly because a group of places run Monday to Thursday only. Manhattan still holds most of the Friday options. Williamsburg, the East Village and Times Square lead, followed by the Upper West Side and Greenwich Village, while Brooklyn has the most Friday listings outside Manhattan, then Queens, with only a handful in the Bronx.

A Friday happy hour in NYC splits into two shifts. The after-work window runs from late afternoon into the early evening at pubs like Jalopy Tavern in Carroll Gardens and Evalyn's Tap House in Gowanus. Then a smaller late-night shift picks up: Bobo in Greenwich Village pours happy hour martinis in its den on Friday and Saturday nights, and Soho Diner sends out wings and burgers in the small hours. Tip: a few spots, including Terravita in Washington Heights, start their Friday deal around lunchtime, useful if you get out of work early.

Two Friday shifts

Most Friday deals end in the early evening, so the after-work window is the main event. For later, the late-night options on our list include Bobo and Soho Diner, which run on Friday and Saturday only, and Tanner Smith's near Times Square, which runs nightly from late evening until close.

Before you go

Friday tabs get a sales tax of 8.875 percent and a tip of 18 to 20 percent on top of what the menu shows. Bobo's late deal is served only in the den, and Terravita's early start applies only on Friday. Check the last-checked date on each listing before you commit to a plan.
