District Tap House

District Tap House is a big craft beer bar on West 38th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, and it runs two happy hours. The after-work one is Monday to Friday, 4–7pm: $6 16oz drafts, $5 Bud Light, $8 well drinks, $10 house wine and $12 cocktails. Then a late-night happy hour runs Wednesday through Sunday from 11pm to 1am.

The room is the draw for groups: high ceilings, a very long bar, a huge draft list and big booths with their own wall-mounted TVs, which makes it a default for watching a game between Penn Station and Times Square. It fills up fast after 5:30pm on weeknights, so take the 4pm start literally. Food is comfort bar food; reviewers single out the pizza, the grilled cheese and the fries. The bar is part of District Hospitality Group.

The Happy Hour

The after-work happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4–7pm: $6 16oz drafts of Five Boroughs Tiny Juicy IPA, Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen and Stella Artois, $5 Bud Light, $8 well drinks, $10 house wine (red, white or prosecco), and $12 cucumber gimlets and jalapeño margaritas; Thursday’s list adds a $12 paloma. There’s also a late-night happy hour Wednesday through Sunday, 11pm–1am. The bar doesn’t list prices for that one, so ask. Verified on District Tap House’s own site in October 2026.

The Room

District Tap House is at 246 West 38th Street, open noon to midnight Monday and Tuesday and noon to 1am Wednesday through Sunday — later if it’s busy. There’s seating out front, a semi-separate cocktail bar in the back on weeknights, and private-party space. Reservations are on OpenTable. Times Square–42nd Street and 34th Street–Penn Station are both a short walk.
