La Cantina Heights: $5 Happy Hour All Day Mon–Thu in Washington Heights
La Cantina Heights runs happy hour all day Monday to Thursday, from the 2pm opening to 2am, and until 8pm on weekends. The bar lists $5 beers, wine and sangria and $5 appetizers at 4460 Broadway in Washington Heights.
The verdict: that’s a long window, and the Monday to Thursday version has no cutoff to race. The beer list is mainstream (Corona, Modelo, Stella, Heineken, Coors Light), but at $5 a bottle it’s an easy call. The cocktails are the better comparison: a Cuba libre is $14 at regular prices and a Malibu breeze is $14, and both are on the happy hour menu. The catch: the weekend window is billed as “weekends” with no mention of Friday, and the shot price changes from $2.99 to $5 at 6pm.
