Hook & Reel Concourse Plaza: $5 Well Drinks Near Yankee Stadium
Hook & Reel Concourse Plaza has happy hour Monday to Friday 3–6pm and Saturday and Sunday 2–5pm, at 236 E 161st St near Yankee Stadium. Well drinks are $5, margaritas $8, wine $6, and a beer with a shot $10.
The verdict: a solid, simple deal in a part of the Bronx that doesn’t have many. The weekend window is the useful one, because 2pm is early enough to start a boil with a margarita before a game. The catch is that the food specials are listed without prices, so only the drinks can be judged. Wine and the beer-and-shot combo are priced fairly, not cheaply.
