Pub Happy Hours in NYC

Updated · refreshes daily

In short: 80 bars on this list, 64 with the deal spelled out. The cheapest drink we have on file: $3 at Flying Cock. Most start at 4pm. Most are in Upper East Side, Midtown, Greenwich Village.

A pub happy hour in NYC is the plain, dependable kind: discounted pints, house wine and well drinks at an Irish bar, a tavern or a beer hall, usually on weekdays after work. Manhattan holds most of the bars on our list tagged as pubs, with the Upper East Side leading, followed by Koreatown, then Murray Hill and Greenwich Village. Brooklyn's are spread across Williamsburg, Park Slope, Gowanus, Prospect Heights and Cobble Hill, and Queens and Staten Island add a few more.

Expect domestic drafts, Guinness at a few, a margarita or espresso martini at some, and food at a minority. Weekday deals from late afternoon into the early evening are the norm, while a few pubs run late shifts or keep a deal for weekend daytime.

Pubs by the hour

Most pubs here open their deal in the late afternoon and close it in the early evening on weekdays. A few go longer: Jack Demsey's, Sefton and The Wolfe start in the late morning or at lunchtime. Some run late instead, among them Tanner Smith's and Bartley Dunne's near Times Square and Blue Haven in Murray Hill. The Malt House in Greenwich Village is the weekend outlier, with a Saturday and Sunday daytime deal.

Before you go

Pub deals are usually poured at the bar and may skip holidays and big match days. Add 8.875 percent sales tax and an 18 to 20 percent tip to the menu price. Pubs change their specials often, so look at each bar's last-checked date.
