Down The Hatch

barkeep — Wed, 20 Jul 2005 22:01:51 +0000

Where: 179 W 4th St / 6th Ave
Drinks: 1/2 price drinks
Eats: $$$$ The sell Atomic Wings which are good, but a lot more expensive than they’re worth. I think they have a full kitchen also.
When: 4pm - 8pm Mon - Fri Plus daily drink specials 7 days a week

They’ve got a pool table and a beer pong table. Plus it’s in thebasement, so it’s kinda cool. I like the glass embedded in the bar. More or less, just a college bar, though, the bartenders are pretty cool.

Mon - $2 off pints, bottles, drinks & pitchers
Tue - Ladies night, $1 drafts
Wed - $6 pitchers, 1/2 price pints, “wheel of alcohol”
Thu - $2 bottles, $3 house shots
Sat - $19pp All you can eat “Atomic Wings” & 3 pitchers 1pm - 6pm
Sun - Same as Sat plus $2 pints

Rare View Bar

barkeep — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 12:51:03 +0000

Where: 17 W 32nd St. / 5th Ave.
Draw: In Koreatown of all places, with a grrgeous view of the Empire State Building, this rooftop bar is a great place to relax in the summer sun.

Delancey

barkeep — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 12:47:33 +0000

Where: 168 Delancey St. / Clinton St.
Draw: Tropical looking plants, near the Williamsburg Bridge and big crowds, what more do you need in NYC? Oh, how about it being on the roof? Works for me.

Barna Rooftop Bar

Employees Only

barkeep — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 12:36:39 +0000

Where: 510 Hudson St. / Christopher St.
Draw: A 1920’s speakeasy marked with a sideways “E” and a small “o”, this is one of those tiny, hidden, West Village locations that offers a outdoor garden and has food until 4am.

Solas

Where: 232 E 9th St / 2nd & 3rd Ave.
Drinks: $6 Mojito, Sangria, Cosmo, Margarita & $5 beers on tap

Cool place, comfy chairs and decent drinks. Generic NYC lounge though. Bartender William is a good Irish lad. Smallish, though they open up a second bar next door in the summer time when the crowds increase. They have a third bar upstairs that’s good for parties, but it’s not open during the week.

1849

barkeep — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 23:33:09 +0000

Where: 183 Bleecker / MacDougal
Drinks: $2 pints & $2.50 well
Eats: $.20 wings (tastee)
When: Sunday

A bunch of big flat-screens and comfy chairs to watch the games in. It’s a bit of a sports crowd, but not too frat-boy. Service can be a bit slow during games / busy happy hours so order 2 of what you need.

Insider Secret: If you get a group (say 4+), ask to go downstairs. They have a very comfy lounge, a nice, big flat-screen TV (for the baseball games) and it’s far less crowded.

Intoxication

barkeep — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 21:50:41 +0000

Due to a complete lack of any kind of good information on happy hours (food and drink) in NYC, I decided to create my own list. If you stumble across this, drop me a note and let me know that you appreciate it, or even better, let me know about deals that I don’t have up here yet.
