Saint Eves: $14 Cocktails Monday to Thursday in Gowanus
Saint Eves runs happy hour Monday to Thursday, 5–7pm, at 475 12th St in Gowanus: $14 cocktails, $14 wine and a $6 Peroni lager. Food starts at $9, and the wings are $2 each.
The verdict: a good weeknight deal if you drink cocktails. The regular list is $17 a drink, so you save $3 on each, and the happy hour menu is a short list of the bar’s own drinks, not a watered-down well menu. The catch is the window. Two hours, four days, and nothing on Friday or the weekend.

The Room
The bar bills itself as an elegant, intimate cocktail bar with indoor and outdoor seating, a block from Prospect Park. It doesn’t take reservations and can’t seat parties of 6 or more, so bring a small group. Hours are Sunday to Thursday 5–10pm and Friday and Saturday 5–10:30pm, with the bar open until midnight. The nearest trains are 7 Av (F/G) and 15 St-Prospect Park (F/G).
