Chano's Cantina Astoria Happy Hour: Weekdays 11am–7pm
Chano’s Cantina, a Mexican restaurant and bar at 35-55 31st Street in Astoria, runs happy hour Monday to Friday from 11am to 7pm, and its menu advertises $1 oysters every day.
The verdict: the $1 oysters are the headline, if they’re on when you go; the menu doesn’t say what hours. The happy hour list covers house wine, sparkling wine, sangria and mezcalitas, but the prices aren’t clearly matched to drinks, so we haven’t quoted them. Off the deal, a classic margarita is $10, or $40 for a pitcher.
