Château 49: $9 Wine and $6 Beer, Every Day Until 7pm
Château 49 runs happy hour every day, 12–7pm, at 924 2nd Ave in Midtown East. Prosecco, rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux and Pinot Noir are $9 a glass, cocktails are $12 and every beer is $6.
The verdict: a long happy hour, and a simple one. It runs seven days a week and starts at noon, so it covers lunch, a late afternoon or a Sunday. $9 for a glass of Bordeaux or Pinot Noir is easy to take, and $6 for any beer is the cheapest line on the list. The catch is that the list is drinks only, so the food is at regular prices.
