Playoffs Sports Lounge: $4 Drafts and $5 Shots Until 8pm in the Bronx
Playoffs Sports Lounge runs happy hour Monday to Friday, 5–8pm, at 5668 Broadway in the Bronx. The prices are low: $4 draft beers, $5 shots, $8 cocktails and $1 jumbo wings.
The verdict: this is a real weekday deal, and the food is as good a reason to go as the drinks. A $16 guacamole drops to $8 and a $14 chicken quesadilla to $8 during the window. The catch is the clock. Friday is the only day the bar opens before 5pm, so the deal never reaches the weekend, and it’s over at 8pm just when a game is getting started.
