Kingston Hall runs a daily 4–8pm BOGO happy hour — buy-one-get-one on beer, well drinks, and prosecco — at a sixties-Jamaica-themed lounge up the stairs on Second Avenue.
Two-for-one on beers, well drinks, and prosecco, daily from 4 to 8pm (Sunday runs 3–8pm). The system: they hand you a token for the free drink, which you can redeem that night or on another visit. Cocktails otherwise run $16–$19, some served in fresh coconuts and pineapples. Caribbean bar bites — jerk chicken wings, Jamaican beef patties, empanadas, seasoned fries with aioli — round it out (food isn’t on the deal).
Kingston Hall: A Daily 4–8pm BOGO Happy Hour in the East Village
Kingston Hall is a sixties-Jamaica-themed lounge up a flight of stairs on Second Avenue, and its draw is one of the better two-for-one deals in the East Village: BOGO on beer, well drinks, and prosecco, daily 4–8pm. Cocktails in coconuts, a pool table, and window seats over the avenue — a chill weeknight spot that packs out on weekends.
About Kingston Hall
Set in a converted old house — you climb the stairs from Second Avenue to reach it — Kingston Hall is a spacious, dimly lit Caribbean-leaning bar with wood decor, a pool table in the back, and an enclosed window area that looks down on the avenue. The theme runs to sixties Jamaica: original cocktails served in fresh coconuts and pineapples, reggae-into-everything from the bartenders, and Jamaican-inspired bar food.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Daily 4–8pm (Sunday 3–8pm): buy-one-get-one-free on beer, well drinks, and prosecco. The catch that’s actually a perk — they give you a token for the free drink, redeemable that night or on a future visit. A few notes:
- BOGO covers beer, well drinks, and prosecco on tap — two-for-one on an $11 draft or a $14 prosecco beats most flat-rate deals nearby
- The bar lists it simply as beer — drafts are $11, bottles and cans $8–$13, so ask which pours are included before you order
- $16–$19 cocktails otherwise, some in coconuts and pineapples
- Food (patties, wings, fries) is not on the happy-hour deal
What to Order
During happy hour, a draft or a well drink — you’re getting two. Off the deal, the coconut and pineapple cocktails are the fun order. For food, the seasoned fries with aioli get singled out constantly, alongside the Jamaican beef patties and jerk chicken wings.
The Space & Vibe
Low-key and lounge-y on weeknights, packed and loud on weekends — a date-spot-meets-hang depending on the night. The upstairs/window area is the seat to grab, especially in summer with a breeze. It edges slightly toward dive in the best way: big, dim, unfussy, with a pool table and real BOGO value.
The East Village Angle
149 Second Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets (second floor, up the stairs). The 6 at Astor Place is closest; the L at Third Avenue and the F at Second Avenue are short walks. You’re right on the Second Avenue / St. Marks bar run.
