Happy Hours Past

I've been organizing Happy Hour for 2 years now! Here's where we've gone in the past...

Friday, April 17, 2009
Stanton Public, 17 Stanton St
Specials (til 8pm) include $2 off drafts, $5 well drinks, and $3 bud light bottles. Birthday girl/boy drinks for free when you bring 10+ friends! Fries & chicken fingers, or order delivery.
I liked this bar- a bit cozy for a large group, but nice manager, friendly regulars, and a good beer selection.

Thursday, February 26, 2009
Greenwich Treehouse, on Greenwich Ave, between Charles & Perry
Specials (til 8pm): BEAT THE CLOCK!!! $1 drafts from 5pm to 6pm, $2 from 6 to 7pm, $3 from 7 to 8pm! Order delivery.
Loved this spot, will totally go back. Nice, open space. Great bartender. Wii for free, and beer pong table available.

Friday, January 23, 2009
Welcome to the Johnsons, 123 Rivington
Specials (til 9pm)- $1.75 PBRs and other CHEAP drinks. No food (dont remember if you can order delivery).
A true dive bar- beat up couches and wood paneling. Pool table in the back. Always cheap.

Thursday, December 11, 2008
123 Burger Shot Beer, 738 10th Ave (between 50th & 51st)
$1 burgers, $2 shots and $3 beers, all night long.
Reminded a lot of us of a Hooters, just not SO blatant (but still). The waitresses wear daisy dukes. Fun, but fratty. Some appetizers, and of course, mini burgers.

Thursday, November 6, 2008
Sidebar, 118 E 15th St (& Irving Place)
Specials (til 7pm)- $3 bud light, 2 for 1 absolute mixed drinks, level martinis, margaritas & mojitas
The waitress was sweet, and the space is nice, but a bit upscale for my tastes. And pricey after 7pm! Food was good, but also pricey.

Thursday, September 25, 2008
One Ten John, 110 John Street
Maybe my least favorite spot so far. The bar has since closed.

Thursday, August 21, 2008
Cafe 81, 81 E. 7th St (between 1st & 2nd Aves)
Specials (til 8pm): $4 low & high ball drinks (all night), $5 mojitos, margaritas & bloody marys,
$4 sangria, $4 beer- domestic & imported
I liked it- not very crowded that night, but we enjoyed sitting on the front patio space on a beautiful evening. It was a chill spot.

Thursday, July 31, 2008
Sweet & Vicious, 5 Spring Street, between Elizabeth & Bowery
Specials (til 7pm): $1 off all drinks, and $5 margaritas (i think)
The back patio is awesome, but the bartenders were not. There was a good, diverse crowd there the whole night.

??i dont remember- will have to update later.

Thursday, May 29, 2008
Meade's, 22 Peck Slip (at southstreet seaport)
Specials (til 8pm): $3 pints, $3 well drinks, $4 frozen margaritas, $5 prosecco, $.50 clams
This has since become one of my favorite bars downtown. Nice bartenders, great food, great sidewalk seating, and good specials.

Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Common Ground Cafe, 206 Avenue A (Between 12th & 13th)
Specials (til 8pm) Buy One Get One Free Appetizers and Panini, $5 Cosmos and Apple Martinis, $2 Pints of Yuengling and Miller Lite
Wednesday is Quiz night, and I now go regularly to play. Love this bar- cozy velvet couches, big open space- lots of fun every time.

Thursday, March 27, 2008
Tom & Jerry's, 288 Elizabeth St., very close to Houston
Specials- $1 off draft beers, $5 well drinks, and maybe other drink specials that i don't know about. Free popcorn.

Thursday, February 28, 2008
Blind Pig, 233 E. 14th St. (between 2nd & 3rd ave)
Specials- don't remember.
This is a popular bar- we got free vodka drinks b/c of a promotion that night. Lots of fun- there was food available.

Thursday, January 31, 2008
The Full Shilling, 160 Pearl Street
Specials- don't remember.
Very financial district bar- lots of 'suits' for a post-work drink. The bar emptied out kind of early. Fun, very pub-y.

Thursday, November 15, 2007
Mocca Lounge, 78 Reade St
Specials (til 7pm) $3 domestics, $5 merlot/chardonney, $5 mixed well drinks, $7 bartender's special, After 8pm: $8 martinis
Not a spot for happy hour- much more a restaurant vibe. Food was good, but the wrong vibe for a group happy hour spot!

Thursday, October 11, 2007
Parkside Lounge, 317 E. Houston St.
Specials (til 8pm)- $10 domestic pitchers, $14 imported pitchers * $2 BUD, Bud Lite, Miller High Life * 2 for 1 Jim Beam, Smirnoff, and Cuervo* 2 for 1 well drinks
LOVED this bar- we took it over. lots of fun- pool table in the back. No food though.

Thursday, September 6, 2007
PJ Clarks at the World Financial Center
Dont remember the specials- they're not great.
Great for outdoor seating- not cheap, but it is beautiful. Lots of fun- good crowd.

Thursday, August 2, 2007
Stone StreetTavern, 52 Stone Street
I don't remember if they had specials.
Stone st. is always packed, especially in the summer. A big 'suits' crowd, which can be fun. We had a blast.

Thursday, May 31, 2007 (THE FIRST ONE!!!!)
Jeremy's Ale House, 228 Front Street
They have specials, and serve beers in large styrofoam cups and have bras hanging from the ceilings. Food is bar food. Kind of a fratty scene, but fun.
