In short: 823 bars in NYC run a happy hour on Wednesdays, 560 with the deal spelled out. The cheapest drink we have on file: $1 at Inwood Bar & Grill. Most start at 4pm. Most are in Midtown, Williamsburg, East Village.
Midweek is peak season. Wednesday sits with Thursday at the top of our list for happy hours, and almost every weekday schedule covers Wednesdays, whether it runs Monday to Friday, Monday to Thursday, Tuesday to Sunday or Sunday to Wednesday. Williamsburg leads the neighborhoods for Wednesday deals, followed by Times Square, the East Village and the Upper West Side, with Hell's Kitchen and Greenwich Village not far behind.
What sets a Wednesday happy hour in NYC apart is the back end of the week's late-night and karaoke deals. Several bars run a Sunday-to-Wednesday schedule, so Wednesday night is the last chance each week for Maru Karaoke Lounge's discounted private rooms in Koreatown, Blue Haven's late window in Murray Hill and Bartley Dunne's late cocktail deal near Times Square. Tip: with this many choices, filter by the subway line you take home and pick a bar a few minutes from your stop.
