Hair of the Dog runs an all-day happy hour Monday through Friday — the whole bar at half price — at a garden-equipped LES sports bar with 23 TVs.
The deal is simple: Monday–Friday, the entire bar is half price (the venue runs it as an all-day window; some listings put it at roughly 11:30am–8pm). After 8pm the nightly specials kick in — Monday $3 drafts and $4 shots, Tuesday $4 “you call it,” Wednesday $2 cans and $8 domestic pitchers. There’s a garden, plus burgers and pub grub from a kitchen open till late.
Hair of the Dog: All-Day Half-Price Happy Hour on the LES
Hair of the Dog is an old-school watering hole crossed with a big-time sports bar on Orchard and Stanton, and its hook is an all-day happy hour, Monday through Friday, with the whole bar at half price. Add a garden, 23 TVs, burgers, and DJs after dark, and you’ve got one of the LES’s most reliable day-into-night spots.
About Hair of the Dog
Open since October 2012 on the corner of Orchard and Stanton, Hair of the Dog is part of the same family as Off the Wagon, Jake’s Dilemma, Down the Hatch, and The Stumble Inn — the people who do cheap, fun, no-pretense bars well. Two bars, walls of TVs, a back garden, and a kitchen turning out burgers and pub grub. By day a sports bar; by night NYC DJs spin from an elevated booth.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Monday–Friday, all day: the entire bar is half price. That’s the rare deal where a $12 cocktail becomes $6 and a $8 beer becomes $4, with no fine print on which drinks qualify. Some listings put the window at roughly 11:30am–8pm. After 8pm the nightly specials take over:
- Monday — $3 drafts, $4 shots
- Tuesday — $4 “you call it”
- Wednesday — $2 cans, $8 domestic pitchers
What to Order
It’s a beer-and-a-shot bar at heart — with the whole list half off, a draft or a well drink is the play. If you’re hungry, the HOTD/Fatso burgers and the loaded nachos are the order, and the brunch leans bacon-egg-and-cheese sliders with a spiked “BYOC” coffee.
The Space & Vibe
Big, loud, and unpretentious — a proper dive-meets-sports-bar with 23 TVs and projectors, a garden for sunny afternoons, and a private back room (the Remedy Room) with an embossed tin ceiling. Packed on game days and Saturday nights; the prices keep a young, rowdy crowd coming.
The Lower East Side Angle
Corner of Orchard and Stanton, in the heart of the LES bar district. The F at Second Avenue is the closest stop; Delancey–Essex (F/J/M/Z) is a short walk south. You’re surrounded by the rest of the Orchard and Ludlow Street run.
