Aftermath NYC: A Ridgewood Vinyl Listening Bar With a Daily Happy Hour
Aftermath runs a daily happy hour (roughly 5–8pm) of discounted drinks and tapas, in an industrial-cozy Ridgewood room lined with vinyl records. It doubles as a listening bar with live DJs.
Co-run by a friendly crew, it spins vinyl Thursday–Saturday and hosts listening sessions, salsa nights, drag and burlesque brunches, and no-cover sports watch parties. The honest read: the cocktails are creative and well-priced ($14–$18), and the exact HH prices aren’t posted online — so confirm.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs daily, around 5–8pm, with a dedicated ‘Tapas & Happy Hour’ section on the menu; exact discounted prices aren’t published, so ask at the bar. The cocktail list is playful and rum/mezcal-forward — drinks like the Guayabitas and the corn-infused ‘George Constanza’ — with light tapas like a spiced cheesesteak and loaded nachos.
The Room
Double-height ceilings, exposed brick, and walls of vinyl (plus Star Wars figures), with DJs at 8pm Thursday–Saturday. A relaxed, culture-minded local Ridgewood crowd; pet-friendly. Closest train is the Seneca Av M.
