Bar Amasa: Tue–Sat 4–6pm Happy Hour Next to Rockefeller Center
Bar Amasa has a two-hour happy hour, 4–6pm, Tuesday to Saturday, at 32 W 48th St in Midtown. It’s a street-level taqueria and agave cocktail bar next to Rockefeller Center.
The verdict: a good early-evening spot for after-work tacos and a margarita-style drink, with one real catch. The bar doesn’t post what the happy hour covers or what it costs, so you can’t do the math on whether it beats the regular menu. The window is short, it ends at 6pm, and the bar is closed Sunday and Monday.
The Happy Hour
- Days: Tuesday to Saturday
- Hours: 4–6pm
- Prices: not posted
Happy hour covers the first two hours the bar is open. The bar stays open until 11pm.
The Bar
Bar Amasa is the casual sister of Amasa Latin Steakhouse, in the same Kimpton Era Hotel building. It sells itself as a “stylish and lively taqueria and cocktail bar”, with regional tacos, housemade salsas and a cocktail list built around agave spirits alongside Latin classics. It’s open for happy hour and dinner. The nearest trains are 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr (B/D/F/M) and 49 St (N/R/W).
