Words by the YaY NYC team, Oct 15, 2026 · Deals last checked on each bar's own site Sep 2 to Nov 2, 2026 · 4 min read

Williamsburg sits on the Brooklyn side of the East River, the first L stop out of Manhattan at Bedford Avenue and a short walk from the Williamsburg Bridge. The bars on our list cluster in a few pockets: Grand Street and Bedford Avenue near the Bedford Avenue station, Kent and Wythe Avenues toward the waterfront, Broadway under the elevated J, M and Z tracks by Marcy Avenue, and Graham Avenue and Bushwick Avenue on the east side, served by the Graham Avenue and Montrose Avenue L stops. The G adds stations at Metropolitan Avenue and Broadway.

Most happy hour in Williamsburg is a drinks affair: draft beer, well drinks, house wine and a few cocktails at a set price, with oysters, wings and bar snacks at some places. Bars outnumber restaurants on our list, and most deals run on weekdays, so Tuesday through Thursday is the safest bet. A handful, including Post No Bills and Testo, keep the discount going every day of the week. Several restaurants honor the deal only at the bar, so grab a stool rather than a table.

Our picks for happy hour in Williamsburg

  1. Post No Bills, Williamsburg

    1. Post No Bills

    Drafts $4 · Well Drinks $5
    Daily open to 9pm · 253 Bushwick Ave

    Post No Bills is a bar on Bushwick Avenue, a one-minute walk from the Montrose Avenue L stop. Its discount runs every day of the week and lasts later into the evening than most on our list, covering drafts, well drinks, house cocktails and a lineup of margaritas plus a negroni. Good for a Sunday that needs no planning.

  2. Williamsburg, a few blocks from The Rosemont

    2. The Rosemont

    $8 classic cocktails
    Mon–Fri 5pm–9pm · Sat, Sun 3pm–9pm · 63 Montrose Avenue

    Two windows make The Rosemont easy to plan around: one on weeknights and an earlier start on Saturday and Sunday, both running well into the evening. The deal centers on classic cocktails. It sits at 63 Montrose Avenue, three minutes from the Broadway stop on the G, and its listed weeknight hours go deep into the night if you want to stay.

    3. Layla

    DRAFT $6 · Contessa boatyard gin $17
    Mon–Fri 4pm–6pm · 352 Bedford Ave

    For oysters with your drink, head to Layla, a European-leaning bar at 352 Bedford Avenue. The weekday happy hour pairs oysters with draft beers and aperitivi, which makes it a natural after-work stop. Marcy Avenue on the J, M and Z is about seven minutes away on foot, and tables can be booked through Resy.

    4. OTB

    Margaritas & Martinis $12 · Aperol Spritz $10
    Mon–Fri 4pm–6pm · Sat, Sun 12pm–4pm · 141 Broadway

    OTB at 141 Broadway is our weekend pick, since the window we have on file falls on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Margaritas, Aperol, house wine and a beer-and-a-shot combo share the deal list with oysters and a plain hot dog. Book through Resy, or walk six minutes from Marcy Avenue on the J, M and Z.

    5. Northern Bell

    DRAFT $1 off · WELL DRINKS $7
    Mon–Fri open to 7pm · 612 Metropolitan Avenue

    Hungry after work?

    6. Recette

    20% off drinks
    Sat, Sun 10am–3:45pm · 103 Havemeyer Street

    Recette is a French restaurant on Havemeyer Street, five minutes from the Metropolitan Avenue G and L station. Its happy hour is a daytime weekend affair on Saturday and Sunday, with a discount on wine by the bottle, so it suits a long weekend lunch more than an after-work drink. Reserve on Resy.

    7. Monarch

    sake 30% off · cocktails $10
    Tue–Fri 5pm–7pm · 146 Metropolitan Avenue

    Monarch describes itself as an izakaya, and its Tuesday to Friday happy hour leans that way, with a percentage off sake plus a set price on cocktails. The restaurant is at 146 Metropolitan Avenue, about six minutes on foot from Bedford Avenue on the L. Our listing shows no booking link, so plan to walk in.

    Deal checked Nov 2, 2026 on the bar's own site.

Getting there

The L is the main line here, with stops at Bedford Avenue, Lorimer Street, Graham Avenue and Montrose Avenue, and Bedford Avenue is the closest station for more bars on our list than any other. The G stops at Metropolitan Avenue, where it connects with the L at Lorimer Street, and at Broadway. The J, M and Z run along Broadway to Marcy Avenue, an accessible station that covers the South Side. Each listing shows the walking time from its nearest stop.

Before you go

Menu prices in New York do not include the 8.875 percent sales tax, and a tip of 18 to 20 percent on top is standard. Many deals apply at the bar only, and Carneval notes that a gratuity is already included on every bill, so read the check. Happy hours change often, so look at the date we last checked each bar on its page before you head out.
