Republica: $7 Cocktails and Appetizers, Mon–Fri 4–8pm, Under a Heated Rooftop
Republica runs happy hour Monday to Friday, 4–8pm, at 160 Dyckman St in Inwood. Cocktails, wine and sangria by the glass are $7, beers and shots are $5, and appetizers are $7.
The verdict: one of the cheaper cocktail deals in Upper Manhattan, because the regular list isn’t cheap. Signature cocktails run $15–$18 and bottled beers are $7, so a $7 margarita, mojito or martini and a $5 beer are real savings. A $35 pitcher of margarita, sangria or mojito makes it a group move. The catch is the cutoff: at 8pm the cheap list ends, and it doesn’t run on weekends.

The Room
Republica opened in 2017 and spreads over three floors: a restaurant, a lounge and a rooftop it bills as the only year-round heated rooftop in Upper Manhattan and Washington Heights. The kitchen is Latin American and Dominican. Hours are Monday to Thursday 4pm–12am, Friday 4pm–4am, Saturday 2pm–4am and Sunday 1pm–12am. The closest trains are the Dyckman St (A) and Dyckman St (1).
