Blue: $2 Oysters and $5 Beers on the Staten Island Waterfront
Blue’s happy hour runs Monday to Friday, 3–6pm, at 1115 Richmond Terrace on the Staten Island waterfront. Beers are $5, wine and margaritas $6, cocktails $7–$8, and oysters $2 each.
The verdict: this is a food-first happy hour, and a good one for the borough. Oysters at $2, clams at $1.50 and wings at $1.75 a piece means you can build a real round for very little. The catch is the window. It closes at 6pm and doesn’t run on weekends, so it suits an early weekday more than a night out.
