Home BX Steakhouse: $2 Oysters and All-Day Tuesday Happy Hour
Home BX Steakhouse runs its happy hour Monday and Wednesday to Friday from 12 to 7pm, and all day Tuesday, at 224 W 238th St in the Bronx. Oysters are $2 each, most beers $5, and wine, sangria, margaritas and mojitos $8.
The verdict: Tuesday is the day to go. A happy hour that runs from noon until close is rare anywhere in the city, and at these prices it turns a Tuesday into a long, cheap session. The other four weekdays end at 7pm, so it suits an early start more than an after-work crowd. The catch: nothing on Saturday or Sunday.

The Room
The kitchen and bar share a steakhouse name and a menu that runs well past steak: empanadas, a bowl built on moro de gandules, chimi sliders. The venue bills itself as “definitely not your typical steakhouse.” Regular menu prices put a Home BX cheeseburger at $17 and steak frites at $24. The bar stays open until 1am Monday to Thursday and Sunday and until 3am Friday and Saturday. The nearest trains are 238 St and Van Cortlandt Park-242 St (1). It also hosts private events and prix fixe dinners.
