Applebee's Fresh Meadows: Daily Happy Hour 3–6pm
Applebee’s in Fresh Meadows runs happy hour every day from 3pm to 6pm at 61-48 188th Street, with drink specials and half-price appetizers. A second round of drink specials starts at 10pm and runs to close.
The verdict: it’s a chain, and it behaves like one. What it has going for it is reach: seven days a week, a three-hour afternoon window and a late-night slot, which is more than most independent bars around 188th Street bother with. The catch is that the restaurant doesn’t publish what the drink specials cost, so you’re trusting the menu on the day. Come for half-price apps and a predictable room, not for a bargain you can plan around.
The Happy Hour
