Metate Riverdale Happy Hour: Weekdays 11am–7pm, $8 Margaritas
Metate, a Mexican restaurant at 3515 Johnson Avenue in Riverdale, runs happy hour Monday to Friday from 11am to 7pm at the bar and the tables, with $8 lime margaritas, rocks or frozen.
The verdict: eight hours a day, five days a week, and you don’t have to fight for a bar stool to get it. An $8 margarita through dinner time is a good deal for this part of the Bronx. The menu lists the rest of the happy hour drinks without clear prices beside each one, so the margarita is the only price we’d quote.
