Late Night Happy Hours in NYC

Updated · refreshes daily

In short: 75 bars on this list, 54 with the deal spelled out. The cheapest drink we have on file: $1 at Papacito's. Most start at 4pm. Most are in Hell's Kitchen, Astoria, Williamsburg.

Late night happy hour in NYC usually means a reverse happy hour: a second round of deals that starts after the dinner rush and, in a few cases, runs until the bar closes. Our list has a group of bars whose deal ends late in the evening or begins after dark, and a smaller set of them run a true late shift. Those are spread out, with the biggest group just south of Central Park around Times Square and Hell's Kitchen, and others in Gramercy, Murray Hill, the East Village, SoHo and the Upper East Side.

Expect a short menu rather than the full early-evening spread: draft beer, a beer-and-shot combo, a few house cocktails such as a Negroni or a spicy margarita. Most late deals skip Friday and Saturday and run Sunday through Wednesday or Thursday; Bobo and Soho Diner are the exceptions, saving theirs for the weekend. The subway runs all night, but trains come less often late at night, so check service before you order the last round.

    Soho Diner turns into a late food stop on Friday and Saturday, when its happy hour runs in the small hours.

It sits on West Broadway, a minute from the A, C and E at Canal Street, and takes reservations.

What counts as late night here

We put a bar on this page when one of its happy hour windows ends late in the evening or later, or starts after dark. That catches two different things. Most of them are regular after-work deals that simply run long and end around the time dinner wraps up. A smaller set are true reverse happy hours that open late, and those are the ones worth planning a night around. Reverse deals lean toward Sunday to Thursday, when bars have seats to fill.

Before you go

Late menus are short and often served at the bar only, so grab a stool rather than a table. Menu prices do not include New York City sales tax of 8.875 percent or the tip, and 18 to 20 percent is standard. Late deals change more often than early ones, so look at each bar's last-checked date before heading out.
