IYKYK Forest Hills: Weekday Happy Hour With Taco and Cocktail Nights
IYKYK Forest Hills runs happy hour Monday through Friday, 5 to 8pm, at 70-13 Austin Street in Forest Hills. The bar prints the hours and nightly specials but no blanket price list. Tuesday is half-off tacos and $5 tequila shots. Thursday is $9 mojitos, margaritas and martinis, plus half off signature cocktails and selected bites.
The verdict: a generous window with a thin price list. Three hours, every weekday, Friday included, but the bar never says what an ordinary happy-hour drink costs. The real deals are the themed nights, and Tuesday and Thursday are the two that print numbers for the early window. The catch: Wednesday’s wine deal starts after 8pm, when happy hour ends, and the Tuesday margarita price is given as both $9 and $10, so don’t count on the lower one.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour is 5–8pm Monday to Friday. The specials:
- Monday (Industry Mondays): 25% off food for hospitality workers and $9 mojitos all night, both after 8pm.
- Tuesday (Taco Tuesday): half-off tacos and $5 tequila shots. More in our Tuesday happy hour guide.
- Wednesday (Wine Down): 50% off bottles of wine, flatbreads, olives, esquites and spiced nuts, all after 8pm.
- Thursday (Ladies Night): $9 mojitos, margaritas and martinis all day, half off signature cocktails and selected bites, live DJ.
- Friday: Friday Vibes, with a live DJ.
