Happy Hour at Luana’s Tavern
Luana’s Tavern is a family-owned neighborhood spot on Court Street in Carroll Gardens, opened in 2023 in the former PJ Hanley’s – the same room where the owners first met. It’s built around handcrafted food, beer, wine and spirits, with just about everything made from scratch in-house.
The vibe is classic tavern with a Brooklyn update: craft cocktails and a serious wine list, plus a leafy back garden that’s a genuine draw in warm weather. It leans into brunch, live music and private events, but the weekday happy hour is where it earns its regulars.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday from 5 to 7 PM. The deal is a tight, well-priced package: $2 oysters, half-off snacks, and half-price select beers and wines by the glass. It’s an easy after-work stop, and in season the back garden makes it worth lingering past 7.
The Room
A warm, from-scratch corner tavern in a landmark Court Street space, with a proper bar and a standout leafy back garden for warm-weather drinking. The feel is neighborly and lived-in, tilting lively when there’s live music.
