e’s BAR: A $5 Happy-Hour Burger and 250 Board Games on the UWS

e’s BAR runs happy hour every single day — Mon–Wed 5–7pm, Thursday 4–7, Friday 2–7, weekends noon–7 — with $6.50 lagers and wells, $7.50 wine and brunch cocktails, a $9.50 beer-and-a-shot, and a famous $5 cheeseburger. It’s an Upper West Side ‘dive bar for grown-ups’ with a wall of board games.

NY Mag has called it the best bar on the UWS, and the appeal is exactly what it sounds like: cheap, generous deals, roughly 250 well-worn board games, darts, and Tuesday trivia. The honest read: it’s warm and anti-scene, built for game nights and low-key groups, and that $5 burger is the move.

The Happy Hour

Happy hour runs daily on a sliding schedule — Mon–Wed 5–7pm, Thu 4–7pm, Fri 2–7pm, Sat–Sun 12–7pm — with $6.50 e’s Easy Lager and well drinks, $7.50 wine, mimosas and Bloody Marys, and a $9.50 beer-and-a-shot. The signature is the $5 happy-hour cheeseburger (a falafel burger runs $6.50). The itemized prices trace to the bar’s menu; they’ve held for a while but confirm if you need them exact. Grab a back booth and a board game.

The Room

The 2,000-square-foot room splits into a casual front where you can grab the $5 burger and watch a game and big back booths built for board games — roughly 250 of them, plus dartboards and Tuesday trivia. The sensibility is jukebox-and-90s, warm and community-driven (it’s vocal about Pride and local sports, and went wild for the 2026 Knicks title). It’s about a block and a half from the 86 St 1 train, and it’s showing every 2026 World Cup match. Crowd is UWS locals, after-work regulars, and low-key groups.
