Happy Hour at Slainte
Slainte has held down its stretch of the Bowery for more than two decades, an Irish pub that’s equal parts neighborhood local and serious sports bar. It runs 24 craft draft lines – four of them Guinness – plus a projector and 14 TVs, and it’s leaning hard into being a World Cup 2026 headquarters. Brick walls and proper Irish hospitality keep it welcoming whether you’re solo or ten deep.
The kitchen turns out homemade food with an Irish accent: fish and chips, bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, wings, burgers and loaded tots, with weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday. It’s a fixture for match days, trivia and live music, and it hosts a long-running traditional Irish session on Tuesdays. Casual, sports-forward and reliably lively.
The Happy Hour
Slainte’s happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 8pm, with $5 select draft beers, $5 well drinks and $5 house wines – a solid deal on the Bowery. On Fridays the pub also runs a $10 Tiny Tini Hour on martinis. These specials are reported across listings but aren’t always posted on the pub’s own site, so it’s worth confirming the current lineup when you arrive.
