A10 runs one of Alphabet City’s most generous happy hours — $18–$21 margarita pitchers, $7 cocktails, and rare deals on actual food — at a cocktail-forward spot on Avenue A.
The window is roughly Tuesday–Friday 4–7pm, with extended weekend hours (Saturday from 1pm, Sunday to 8pm) — confirm the day you go. Pitchers of margarita or sangria run $18–$21, with happy-hour cocktails $7–$9 (the $7 spicy mango margarita is the move). What sets it apart is the food: $5 wings, a $10 cheeseburger, and a $5 skillet of baby mac n cheese — deals on a real menu, not just sad fries. Under new ownership as A10 Kitchen, but the happy hour held.
A10: Margarita Pitchers and Food Deals on Avenue A
A10 is an Avenue A cocktail spot with a happy hour that actually delivers on both ends — $18 margarita pitchers and $7 cocktails on the drinks side, plus genuine deals on food: $5 wings, $5 mac n cheese, $10 burgers. Roughly Tuesday–Friday 4–7pm, with longer weekend windows. Cozy, neighborly, and easy to make a night of.
About A10
A10 (now run as A10 Kitchen under new ownership) is a lively, cozy spot on Avenue A in Alphabet City — a signature yellow-and-black striped seating area out front, a full menu behind the bar, and crafted cocktails that punch above the neighborhood average. It reads as a date-night or unwind-with-friends place, with a kitchen that puts real thought into bar food rather than phoning it in.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Roughly Tuesday–Friday 4–7pm (Saturday from 1pm, Sunday to 8pm — confirm). The lineup:
- Pitchers — margarita or sangria, $18–$21 (mojito runs a touch more)
- $7–$9 cocktails — the $7 spicy mango margarita, frozen and tajin-rimmed, is the pick
- Food deals — $5 wings (blue cheese), a $10 cheeseburger, $5 baby mac n cheese in a skillet
Deals on food and drink together are rare in this neighborhood — A10 is one of the few that does both well.
What to Order
A pitcher of margarita to split, or the $7 spicy mango margarita if you’re solo. For food, the wings and the baby mac n cheese are the value plays; the rock shrimp appetizer, truffle fries, and the burger get named repeatedly. Brunch adds breakfast margaritas and bloody marys if you’re starting early.
The Space & Vibe
Warm and intimate inside, with a fun outdoor seating area for people-watching on Avenue A. It’s neighborly and laid-back — a spot regulars return to for the vibe as much as the deal. New ownership shifted things a bit, so the room’s a touch different than longtime regulars remember, but the happy hour and the cocktails carried over.
The Alphabet City Angle
162 Avenue A, between 10th and 11th in Alphabet City, a block from Tompkins Square Park. The L at First Avenue is closest; the 6 at Astor Place and the F at Second Avenue are short walks. You’re in the heart of the Avenue A bar run.
