Patron Mexican Grill: $5 Margaritas on Ninth Avenue, Most of the Week
Patron Mexican Grill runs its happy hour Monday to Thursday 3–11pm, Friday 12–7pm and Sunday 12–11pm, at 608 9th Ave in Hell’s Kitchen. The deal is $5 margaritas (rocks or frozen), $5 select shots, $7 flavored margaritas, and an $8 piña colada and mini bulldog.
The verdict: this is a volume play, and a good one if frozen margaritas are the plan. Monday to Thursday the window covers every hour the restaurant is open, so “happy hour” here mostly means “any time you walk in.” Against the regular menu, where the small 9 oz house margarita is $8, a $5 margarita saves $3. The piña colada drops from $10 to $8, and the mini bulldog from $11 for a small to $8. The catch: the happy hour doesn’t give a margarita size, and there’s no Saturday happy hour posted.

The Room
Patron calls itself a festive dining spot in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen and the Theater District, and the menu backs that up: fajitas, tacos, a Fiesta Burger, and a drinks list built on oversized formats. Fishbowls run $25 for 30 oz (serves 1–2) and $45 for 50 oz (serves 2–3), and the Colossal margarita is 60 oz for $60. Hours are Monday to Thursday 3–11pm, Friday and Saturday 12pm–12am, and Sunday 12–11pm. The nearest trains are Times Sq-42 St (1/2/3/7/A/C/E/N/Q/R/S/W) and 50 St (C/E).
