Left Bank runs a daily happy hour — Mon–Fri 5–7pm, weekends 4–6pm — with $30 entrée-plus-drink bundles, $8 beer, $10 wine, $12 martinis, and fresh oysters, at a farm-to-table West Village bistro.
The bundles are the move: any two apps for $30, a burger plus a draft beer for $30, or a pasta plus a glass of wine for $30. À la carte, it’s $8 draft beer, $10 wine by the glass, $12 skinny or spicy margs and martinis, and $7 parmesan fries — plus fresh East Coast oysters. Forbes has name-checked the happy hour. It runs Monday–Friday 5–7pm and Saturday–Sunday 4–6pm.
Left Bank: A Farm-to-Table West Village Bistro With a $30 Happy Hour
Left Bank is a farm-to-table bistro on the corner of Perry and Greenwich that’s quietly run one of the West Village’s better happy hours for over a decade. Mon–Fri 5–7pm (weekends 4–6pm), the deal is $30 entrée-plus-drink bundles and fresh oysters in a warm, low-lit room you can actually hold a conversation in. Forbes noticed; most tourists haven’t.
About Left Bank
Open since 2011 in a landmarked West Village building with big bay windows, Left Bank is a New York bistro with European leanings — simple, seasonal food sourced from small family farms. Think Dutch baby pancakes at brunch, prime steak frites, a Bolognese with a following, and a chicken sandwich with au jus that regulars come back for. Downstairs is a small Victorian-style private party room.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Monday–Friday 5–7pm, Saturday–Sunday 4–6pm. The structure is bundle-driven:
- Any two apps — $30, from the full appetizer list
- Burger + a draft beer — $30; pasta + a glass of wine — $30
- $8 beer, $10 wine, $12 margs & martinis (skinny or spicy), $7 parmesan fries, plus fresh oysters
For a quiet, well-run West Village bistro, a full plate and a drink for $30 — oysters included — is a genuinely good deal.
What to Order
Start with the oysters and a martini. The burger-plus-beer bundle is the value pick; the pasta-plus-wine runs a close second. Off happy hour, the Dutch baby at brunch and the steak frites at dinner are the signatures, and the affogato or tiramisu closes it out.
The Space & Vibe
Warm, elegant, and laid-back — dark wood, bay windows, low light, and a room quiet enough to talk on a Friday night, which is rare down here. It’s a date-night and neighborhood-regular crowd more than a scene. Sit at the bar for the happy hour and the bartenders’ attention.
The West Village Angle
117 Perry Street, on the corner of Greenwich Street. The 1 at Christopher St–Sheridan Sq is closest; the West 4th hub (A/C/E/B/D/F/M) is a short walk east. It’s on a quiet residential corner, away from the Bleecker Street crush — part of the appeal.
