Alison St Marks: $1.50 Oysters and a Wed–Fri Happy Hour in the East Village
Alison St Marks runs a happy hour Wednesday–Friday from 3pm built around $1.50 oysters and $1.50 buffalo wings, with $9 wines and cocktails and a standout $55 dozen-oysters-plus-a-bottle deal. It’s a cozy New American corner bistro on St. Marks.
Opened in early 2025 as the East Village sibling of East Harlem’s Alison, it does an accessible raw-bar-and-brunch menu. The honest read: the oyster happy hour is one of the better raw-bar values downtown, and the end time isn’t on an official page — so confirm (it’s likely 6pm).
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Wed–Fri starting at 3pm (open): $1.50 oysters (6 minimum), $1.50 buffalo wings (6 minimum), $9 wines by the glass, $9 cocktails (sangria, vermut & cola, rosé spritz, hibiscus mule), $5–$7 beers, and $6 lamb or chicken sliders. The signature deal is a dozen oysters plus a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for $55. The end time isn’t published officially — confirm at the bar.
The Room
A narrow, plant-filled corner bistro on St. Marks Place between First and A, with warm lighting and some outdoor seating. The menu runs oysters, Thai-curry mussels, croquettes, burgers and bowls; the brunch Croque Madame gets singled out. Two blocks from the 1st Ave L. Crowd: casual neighborhood.
