Is there a happy hour at Julia’s?
Julia’s is a women-owned beer and wine bar on a quiet Ridgewood corner, warm red walls and arched doorways nodding to the owners’ Mexican heritage. It’s the second venture from the team behind nearby Norma’s Corner Shoppe, open since 2015 and grown into a genuine neighborhood fixture. The list leans local, with a soft spot for New York State wines and craft beer.
By day it’s a daily-brunch spot known for grilled cheese, cheese boards and mimosas; by evening it’s a cozy, welcoming place for a glass and a snack. There’s a full cocktail bar alongside the wine and beer, and the room doubles as a well-liked private-events space. It’s LGBTQ+-friendly and squarely built for the neighborhood.
The Happy Hour
Julia’s happy hour runs every day from 4 to 6 PM, taking $2 off glasses of wine and draft beers, an easy fit for a bar that champions New York State pours and local taps. On Tuesdays there’s a $10 charcuterie plate to go with your glass. Everything skews reasonably priced here, so it’s a low-key, affordable window whether you’re easing out of the afternoon or starting the evening.
The Room
The space is snug and homey, with warm red walls, arched doorways and a Mexican-heritage feel that reflects the family behind it. It runs cafe-casual for daytime brunch and shifts into a mellow wine-bar mood after dark, and the whole room can be booked for private events.
