Best Happy Hours in East Village

The East Village is the Disney World of the NYC bar scene -- actually, more like Epcot Center's World Showcase on steroids with a touch of the Animal Kingdom. Take a quick scan of the pubs on 2nd Avenue: Off the Wagon, The Bourgeois Pig, 9th Ward, The Thirsty Scholar.


There's more bars per square mile in the East Village than anywhere in the city. Even when compared to nearby Hoboken -- which, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, is home to the most bars per square mile in the country -- the flair and diversity of the East Village worth a night out. The biggest advantage of drinking in the East Village is the instant access to a wide range of theme bars, cuisines and scenes. Ultimately, your nights are never a bore. You could sing karaoke with the stars one night at Sing-Sing Karaoke, a well-known celebrity-magnet, or take down oysters shooters at Desnuda another.


And with a large contingent of bars, your happy hour choices rise two-fold. In fact, pinpointing the best happy hours in the East Village is just unfair. You basically can't go wrong with any bar you visit. So here's just a few must-go's to ease your decisions.

 


Geographically, the Village begins below 14th Street and stretches to Houston, ranging from 4th Avenue to the East River. The radius is large and blunt. There's nothing more fitting to start your happy hour bar hop then at the Village Pourhouse on 3rd Avenue and 11th Street.The iconic sports bar has been a staple in the Village for years. And if go from 11 am to 8 pm during the week and 11 am to 7 pm on Fridays, you'll get quick buzz for half the price. The Pourhouse offers $2 Bud and Bud Light drafts, 2 for 1 Sauza Margaritas and deals on various cocktails per days. From 11 pm to Midnight, you'll get $1 Bud Light drafts and $3 well drinks.


A few blocks away, you'll find The 13th Step at 2nd Avenue and 9th Street. Just like the Pourhouse, the bar features a bustling fluorescent red and blue lights that spell out the bar name. And, unlike the Pourhouse, the bar may the neighborhood's best happy hour. From 11:30 am to 8 pm, the entire bar is half off. Again, every drink is half off. And from 8 pm to 9 pm on Saturdays, you could get $3 shots.


Yes, it gets crowded at The 13th Step. So if it gets a little overwhelming, there's The Thirsty Scholar a half block away, located on 2nd Avenue and 10th Street. From 5 pm to 8 pm everyday, you'll have choice of $3-$4 beers, $5 martinis, $4 cosmos and frozen drinks, and you'll have the chance to brush up on your classic literature and sports scholars -- there is trivia on Tuesdays and an array of international soccer games.

 


If you want a little something different, you a few blocks east to the SideWalk Cafe, locate near Topkins Square Park on 6th Avenue and Avenue A. The bar does feature an outdoor cafe and has live music regularly. For the drinking enthusiast, you'll have half off draft beers from 11 am to 8 pm. You could also your choice of well drinks, well wine and sangria for $4 a piece. You may get hungry after a few drinks.


And the Sunburnt Cow, an Australian barbie joint located on rapidly growing Avenue C, has some of the best happy hour food options in the area. The bar offers $4 bar plates that change regularly as you sip on your $3 mixed drinks and $2 selected beers on the pub's patio.
