Bobo runs an L’Apéro happy hour every day from 5–7pm — $2 oysters, $8 wines, $10 cocktails, and $5 beer, in a West Village townhouse most people walk right past.
The deal lives in the den and the upstairs bar: $2 oysters, $8 wines (sparkling, rosé, blanc, rouge), a $10 épice margarita with St-Germain and jalapeño, and $5 beer. On Friday and Saturday a late martini hour runs 10pm–midnight in the den with three styles of $14 martini. Prices drift a dollar or two by season, so confirm at the bar.
Bobo: A West Village Townhouse With $2 Oysters at Happy Hour
Bobo is a French restaurant tucked into an 1800s West Village townhouse on West 10th, and the move most people miss is happy hour. Every day, 5 to 7pm, the den and upstairs bar run $2 oysters, $8 wine, and $10 cocktails — a genuinely fair price for a room this pretty. Walk past the street-level door and you’d never know it’s there.
About Bobo
Bobo spreads across several floors of a townhouse just off Seventh Avenue, done up like a slightly faded French country house — fireplaces, mismatched rooms, a back conservatory, and a rooftop where they keep beehives. The kitchen is French-leaning: oysters, steak, duck confit, gnocchi, and a charcuterie board built for the bar. It reads as a date spot, and it is, but the bar and den are where the value sits.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Daily, 5–7pm, in the den and the upstairs bar (not the dining room). The L’Apéro menu runs:
- $2 oysters — the reason to come; cheap by West Village standards and actually good
- $8 wines — sparkling, rosé, blanc, rouge
- $10 cocktails — including the épice margarita (St-Germain, jalapeño) and $5 beer
Friday and Saturday add a late martini hour, 10pm–midnight, with $14 martinis in the den. For a neighborhood where $20 cocktails are normal, this is one of the better-value windows in the West Village.
What to Order
Oysters first — that’s the whole point at $2. Add the charcuterie board and the épice margarita. Regulars rate the Norwegian Wood, a rosemary gin-and-tonic riff that actually tastes like summer. If you stay for dinner, the duck confit and the steak are the safe calls.
The Space & Vibe
It’s dim, romantic, and a little theatrical — Victorian bones, low light, soft music, conversation everywhere. Sit at the downstairs bar for the deal, or ask for the conservatory or the garden when the weather’s good. It gets busy and the kitchen can run slow on a packed night; the bar moves faster.
The West Village Angle
Bobo sits on West 10th between Waverly and Seventh, a block off Sheridan Square. The 1 at Christopher Street is two minutes away; the West 4th hub (A/C/E/B/D/F/M) is a short walk east. It’s an easy pre-show stop before a set at the Village Vanguard or a wander down Bleecker.
