Bar V: $10 Wine and $6 Beer Every Day, 4–6pm
Bar V has a happy hour every day, 4–6pm, at 10 Morton St in the West Village. The deal is $10 glasses of wine, $6 beers and bar snacks from $7.
The verdict: a proper wine-bar happy hour, and it runs seven days a week. Ten wines at $10 a glass is the headline, and the flights (3 for $14, 4 for $18) are the better play if you want to taste your way through the orange and skin-contact bottles. The food discount is modest: patatas bravas drop from $12 to $10, artichoke gratin from $16 to $12 and chicken liver pâté from $12 to $10. The catch is the clock. It’s two hours, and the flights exclude dessert, port and sparkling wines.
