Bar Bayeux, PLG: Free Live Jazz & a Happy Hour Until 7pm
Bar Bayeux is the jazz bar on Nostrand Ave: live music with no cover, cocktails and natural wine, and a happy hour Tuesday to Friday until 7pm at 1066 Nostrand Ave.
The verdict: the best free night out in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The happy hour is short and unpriced, but the reason to go is after 8pm, when the band starts and nobody asks for a ticket.
The Happy Hour
- When: Tue–Wed 6–7pm, Thu–Fri 5–7pm (from opening until 7pm)
- Prices: not posted
What to Expect
A cocktail list built around classics and house drinks named for jazz players (Herbie Nichols, Herb Alpert), plus natural wine and craft beer. Snacks $4–15. Live jazz on the calendar with no cover, no tickets and no reservations; the Tuesday jam session runs 8–11pm with a one-drink minimum. Stand-up comedy every Sunday at 8:30pm.
