What better way to end a day of touring New York City than with a drink at one of New York City's bars. It can be tough to separate the best from the rest, so I've gathered here some top picks for New York City happy hours.
With 26 microbrews on tap, as well as a fine selection of single malt scotch and tequila, this is a fine place for happy hour. The deal: $1 off all draught beer from 12 - 8 p.m Mon - Fri. Monday $3 pints of Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale and from 6 p.m on free hotdogs. "You Cut the Cheese" nights on Wednesdays starting at 5 p.m. featuring free cheese & bread.
Popular with NYU students, but welcoming with pool tables downstairs. From Sunday through Wednesday they offer happy hour import beers for $1.50 a mug. 15 Barrow St. (btw. 7th Ave. & 4th St.), phone: 691-6127.
3. Yodo Restaurant of Japan
