Hard to Explain East Village: Tiny Bar, HH 5–7
Hard to Explain is a tiny East 10th Street bar that people compare to a Tokyo listening room, with a happy hour every day from 5 to 7.
The Happy Hour
Daily 5–7pm. No prices posted.
The Food & Drink
Drinks first; there’s no food menu to speak of.
The Room
Small on space. Grab one of the two window stools if they’re free. It opened in 2022.
Before You Go
Walk-ins only. Parties of six or more have an $18-a-head minimum and an automatic 20% tip, so it’s not the place for a big group.
