The Lower East Side sits below East Houston Street and east of the Bowery, running toward the Williamsburg Bridge at Delancey Street. Orchard Street carries the most bars, with Isla & Co., Gugu Room, Mary's, Boho Karaoke Orchard and Hair Of The Dog within a few blocks of each other. Broome Street adds a trio around Sally Can Wait and Ten Bells, Ludlow, Rivington and Clinton Streets fill in the middle, and a western strip on Chrystie and lower Rivington Streets brings in Home Sweet Home, Ray's and Loreley near the Bowery stop on the J and Z. Delancey Street and Essex Street on the F, J, M and Z serve most of the rest.

Happy hour in the Lower East Side starts early and often runs every day. Ten Bells, Bar Belly and Boho Karaoke Orchard all begin their deals when the doors open, and a good share of our list includes Saturday or Sunday. Expect draft beer, house wine, well drinks and frozen or craft cocktails, with oysters, tacos, burgers and sliders at a few addresses. One tip: Tre limits its Thursday deal to the bar, so ask before taking a table anywhere on this list.

Getting there

Delancey Street and Essex Street, both served by the F, J, M and Z, are the nearest stops for most bars on our list, covering Orchard, Broome, Clinton and Rivington Streets. The F alone also stops at 2nd Avenue on Houston Street, closest to Hair Of The Dog, Lydia's and Tre on the north side, and at East Broadway, the stop for 169 Bar and Bar Belly to the south. On the western edge, Bowery on the J and Z is a minute or two from Home Sweet Home, Ray's, Loreley Restaurant & Biergarten and Jadis Wine Bar.

Before you go

Add New York's 8.875 percent sales tax to anything you see on the menu, then an 18 to 20 percent tip. Bar-only rules are common: Tre states one for Thursdays. Deals on this side of town shift, so look at the last-checked date on each bar's page before heading out.
