Is there a happy hour at JP Clarke’s?
JP Clarke’s sits on the McLean Avenue strip in the Woodlawn ‘Little Ireland’ scene, just over the Bronx line in Yonkers. It’s a straightforward Irish saloon with a proper outdoor beer garden, the kind of place where the taps run local, the crowd is neighborhood, and the 4 train drops you a short walk away at the end of the line.
This is a drinks-only bar with a bring-your-own-food policy, so regulars order in from the McLean Avenue spots nearby and settle in with a pint. There’s a private section for groups and live entertainment on the calendar. Think pub crawl anchor rather than dinner destination.
What to Expect
JP Clarke’s does not publish a formal happy hour. It runs as a classic McLean Avenue Irish bar where drinks stay reasonably priced and any specials are set day to day by whoever’s behind the taps. The list leans on local craft brewers like Yonkers Brewing and Captain Lawrence. Because there’s no kitchen, the move is to grab food from a neighboring spot and bring it in, then post up in the beer garden.
The Room
The heart of the place is the outdoor beer garden, with a bar section indoors and a separate area that groups can take over. It’s an unfussy Irish saloon built for drinking, talking and the occasional live act, right on the busy McLean Avenue pub row.
