Dos Caminos Times Square: $8 Margaritas Twice a Day, Steps From TKTS
Dos Caminos runs its Times Square happy hour twice a day: Mon-Fri 3-6pm and again 9pm to close, bar and lounge only — $8 margaritas, $6 Mexican beers, $8 bites. A block from TKTS, that’s the rare Theater District deal that isn’t a tourist trap.
The happy hour at Dos Caminos Times Square runs Monday to Friday, 3-6pm and 9pm to close, in the bar and lounge.
The deals: $8 margaritas (El Camino, Traditional Frozen, Prickly Pear), $6 beers (Tecate, Corona, Corona Light, Pacifico), $8 sangria, $10 tequila flight — plus $8 bites: queso fundido, guacamole, taquitos de pollo, and Tex-Mex queso.
About Dos Caminos Times Square
The Times Square outpost of the long-running Mexican group (now under Landry’s) runs two floors at Broadway and 47th: a 40-seat street-level margarita and mezcal bar, and a guacamole bar below. The tequila list clears 120 bottles, and the margarita program has trophy hardware — the “Great Escape” took the 2022 Margarita Rumble.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Weekdays, two windows: 3-6pm for the pre-theater crowd, then 9pm-close for everyone who just walked out of a show. It’s bar and lounge only — sit at the 40-seat margarita bar, not a dining table. $8 covers the El Camino, the traditional frozen, or the prickly pear margarita; beers run $6, sangria $8, and the $10 tequila flight is the cheapest guided tour of a 120-bottle list in Midtown. The $8 bites (queso fundido, guac, taquitos) hold you through a 7:30 curtain.
What to Order
The prickly pear margarita at $8 is the order; tableside guacamole is the ritual worth paying full price for. Off the happy-hour clock, the birria tacos with consommé and the sizzling fajitas are the kitchen’s best case. Pre-theater tip: the 3-6pm window plus an early reservation beats every prix-fixe on the block.
The Space & Vibe
Loud, bright, two floors of pre- and post-Broadway energy with screens for game nights — this is Times Square, and it leans into it. The bar level is the move: quicker service, the full happy-hour menu, and better people-watching than the dining room.
The Times Square Angle
Broadway and W 47th, one block from TKTS and Duffy Square, with the N/R/W at 49th St and the 1 at 50th St closest. Doors run 7am-9pm Sun-Thu and 7am-11pm Fri-Sat — note the early close midweek; the 9pm-close window is short Mon-Thu and best on Fridays.
Who It’s For
| Best for | Why |
|---|---|
| Pre-theater margaritas | 3-6pm window, one block from TKTS — beat the curtain and the markup |
| Post-show decompression | the 9pm-close second window catches the Broadway exodus |
| Tequila students | $10 flight off a 120+ bottle list |
| Visiting parents | a recognizable name, tableside guac, and $8 margaritas — everyone wins |
