Weekday vs weekend

Weekday afternoons are the default in Manhattan, and downtown spots such as Toro Loco and Filé Gumbo Bar wrap up early in the evening. For Saturday and Sunday, look to the residential neighborhoods: The Ribbon, Ethyl's and Ponty Bistro all include the weekend, and Times Square, the Upper West Side and the East Village have the most weekend listings overall. Day patterns vary a lot from bar to bar, so check the days on each listing before you set out.

Before you go

Manhattan menu prices exclude the 8.875 percent sales tax, and the standard tip is 18 to 20 percent on top. Plenty of deals apply only at the bar, so ask before you sit at a table. Happy hours change often, so check the date we last confirmed each bar on its page.
