What’s the happy hour at Plug Uglies?
Plug Uglies is a no-frills Gramercy sports bar named after one of 19th-century New York’s notorious street gangs. After nearly a decade near 21st Street, the flagship relocated in June 2024 to 295 Third Avenue between 22nd and 23rd, where it packs in 13-plus screens, a free 22-foot shuffleboard table, and a wall of taps and bottles.
The draw is simple and dependable: watch your team, order a plate of wings, and lean on friendly bartenders who keep the pours coming. It’s a good-time neighborhood bar built for game day and after-work rounds, with a second location on the Upper East Side.
The Happy Hour
Plug Uglies runs a weekday happy hour with discounted beer and well drinks — the kind of affordable pours that pair with a shuffleboard game and whatever’s on the screens. Because published specials vary by source and can change, it’s worth a quick call to confirm the exact days, times, and prices before you head over. The bar stays open late (until 4am daily), so there’s a long runway either side of happy hour.
The Room
A big, screen-heavy sports bar with booths, a long bar, and a free 22-foot shuffleboard table — loud on game nights, easygoing the rest of the time.
