Kurant Wine Bar: $9 Wines and $6 Beers Daily Until 7pm
Kurant Wine Bar’s happy hour runs every day until 7pm and all night on Mondays: $9 wines, $6 beers and an $11 Aperol Spritz. It’s at 1091 2nd Ave, between 57th and 58th St, in Midtown East.
The verdict: Monday is the night to know. Kurant opens at 4pm that day and the discount never switches off, so a $9 glass of Pinot Grigio is a standing option until midnight. Regular glasses run $14–$16, so you save $5–$7 a pour ($14 Pinot Grigio to $9, $16 Pinot Noir to $9). The beer saving is smaller: bottles are $8 normally and $6 on happy hour, so $2. The catch is that the start time isn’t posted, only the 7pm end, and the Aperol Spritz isn’t on the regular menu to compare against.
The Happy Hour
- When: daily until 7pm; all night on Mondays.
- Wine, $9: Prosecco, Rosé, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Pinot Noir.
- Beer, $6.
- Aperol Spritz, $11.
Specialty cocktails are $16 each, so the $11 spritz is the only cocktail price break. The kitchen runs until 11pm for anything you want with the wine, and weekend brunch comes with $25 bottomless drinks (90-minute limit), Saturday and Sunday 11am–4pm.
The Room
