Hell's Kitchen covers Midtown's West Side between Eighth Avenue and the Hudson River, roughly from 34th Street up to 59th Street, and on our list its bars crowd the avenues more than the side streets. Ninth Avenue is the spine, with a dense run through the upper 40s and 50s. Tenth Avenue adds a second strip, West 44th Street near the Port Authority Bus Terminal holds a pub and a tiki bar, and the top end sits close to Columbus Circle. The 50th Street station on the C and E is the nearest stop for more of these bars than any other.

Happy hour in Hell's Kitchen leans on simple, generous formats: two-for-one well drinks and half-price apps at VERS, half off every drink at the bar at Baires Grill, oysters and bubbly at Lady Blue. Many places sit a block or two from the Broadway theaters, so the early evening window doubles as a pre-show stop, and a few run a second window late at night. Daily deals are common, at VERS, Blue Seafood Bar, Sushi Damo, by & by and Chalong Southern Thai. Ninth Avenue is easy to walk, so start near 57th Street and work south.

Getting there

The C and E stop at 50th Street on Eighth Avenue, the closest station for many bars on our list, mostly along Ninth Avenue and the side streets of the upper 40s. Farther south, the 42nd Street–Port Authority complex brings in twelve lines and covers West 42nd to 44th Streets. The north end is easiest from 59th Street–Columbus Circle on the 1, A, B, C and D. Tenth Avenue spots are a longer walk from any of these, about seven or eight minutes, and Kings of Kobe on West 42nd Street is nearest to 34th Street–Hudson Yards on the 7.

Before you go

Add New York's 8.875 percent sales tax to the menu price, then tip 18 to 20 percent. Several deals here are bar only, including Baires Grill and Kings of Kobe, so a table can cost more. Menus in this part of town change often; check the last-checked date on each listing before you plan around one.
