Happy Hour at Evalyn’s Tap House
Evalyn’s Tap House is a modern Gowanus beer bar and gastropub on Butler Street, named for a co-owner’s mother-in-law and built around roughly 40 local and Northern European brews, about 20 of them on draft. The kitchen, run by Berlin-born chef Steffen Sander, leans German and Nordic: currywurst, schnitzel sandwiches, spaetzle mac and cheese, and warm Bavarian pretzels.
It is a legitimate craft-beer destination with a lively, distinctly Brooklyn feel, a fairy-lit outdoor deck, and programming like Tuesday trivia and Monday Night Football. The happy hour is one of the more generous in the neighborhood, running every single day rather than just weekdays.
The Happy Hour
The daily happy hour runs 4 to 7 PM with $7 craft draft beers and $6 Bavarian pretzels (pretzels are $5 on Tuesdays). Mondays replace the standard window with Mega Monday, an all-day open-to-close deal of $8 beers, $8 well drinks, and $11 cocktails, timed to Monday Night Football. Tuesday trivia kicks off around 8 PM. The homepage sums the offer up simply as a daily 4-7 PM happy hour.
The Room
A contemporary tap house with a long bar, warm fairy-lit interior, and a pet-friendly outdoor deck under a retractable awning. Untappd also tags it as a sports and cocktail bar, and the crowd skews to beer-minded locals and after-work groups.
