Romeo’s: $14 Margaritas and $12 Wine Until 7pm, Every Day
Romeo’s runs happy hour every day until 7pm at 118 St Marks Place in the East Village: from 4pm Monday to Friday and from 2pm on Saturday and Sunday. The prices: a $14 margarita or Aperol spritz, a $12 IPA americano or michelada, $12 wine by the glass and a $6 Romeo’s lime lager.
The verdict: a fair cut on a pricey list. Most cocktails here are $19, so $14 for a margarita or a spritz saves $5. The IPA americano and the michelada go from $17 to $12, wine from $15 to $12, and the house lime lager from $9 to $6. The window is long, especially on weekends. The catch: it’s drinks only.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday–Friday 4–7pm and Saturday–Sunday 2–7pm. The bar bills it as “seven days a week until 7pm”: $14 margarita or Aperol spritz, $12 IPA americano or michelada, $12 wine by the glass, $6 Romeo’s lime lager. For scale, the full menu has Romeo’s Classics and the Now Playing cocktails at $19, wine by the glass at $15 and cans at $9.
The Bar
Romeo’s calls itself a neighborhood cocktail bar with friendly bartenders, creative cocktails and bar snacks, and it takes party bookings. It’s open until 2am nightly. The closest trains are the L at 1 Av and the F at 2 Av; more bars are in our East Village happy hour guide.
