Sundays Well: The Kips Bay Gastropub With a Late Kitchen and an All-Week Happy Hour
Sundays Well is a Kips Bay gastropub on 3rd Ave that does the unglamorous, unbeatable thing well: a long happy hour, a real kitchen running late, and a room that doesn’t make you feel like you’re trying too hard. The deal runs Monday through Friday until 7pm and all of Sunday from 3pm to close, which is more bar than most places in this stretch of Manhattan can claim.
Add Monday’s all-day $10 food and drink specials and trivia on Wednesday nights at 8:30pm, and you have the kind of neighborhood spot that earns repeat visits without trying to be a destination.
The Happy Hour
The headline is the schedule — wider than most Kips Bay competitors, who cut it off at 6 or 7:
- Mon–Fri until 7pm — full happy hour menu
- Sunday 3pm to close — the neighborhood’s most generous Sunday window, kitchen open late
- $10 Mondays — all-day food and drink specials
- Wednesday trivia at 8:30pm — pair with the tail of happy hour for the cheapest night out
- Specials rotate, so check the chalkboard or their Instagram before you go.
The Drinks
The full bar is a serious step up from the standard pub list. Draft beer leans craft and local — Five Boroughs Gridlock IPA, Other Half Forever Ever, Half Acre Pale Ale, Singlecut Hibiscus Sour — alongside the workhorses (Guinness, Spaten, Allagash White, Budweiser in a frosted mug). The cocktail list earns the gastropub label: a Lavender Gimlet, a mezcal Beach Day, and a serious martini section (a blue-cheese Dirty Olive, a dill-infused Dirty Pickle, a proper Vesper). The wine list is short and smart, Txakolina to Austrian orange to a Maipo Cab.
The Food
Gastropub food done the way it should be — recognizable bar food with an idea or two in it, executed cleanly. The Sunday Burger uses a LaFrieda blend on a sesame potato roll; the Chopped Cheese Egg Roll is a proper bodega-meets-bar-snack mashup. Buffalo wings, tempura-cod fish and chips, hot popcorn chicken, and a four-cheese board all hold up. Brunch is a highlight — shakshouka, chicken and waffles on a Liege waffle, eggs benedict — with bottomless options, and the kitchen runs late enough that you can actually order food at last call.
The Room
360 3rd Ave puts Sundays Well between 26th and 27th, on the Kips Bay/Flatiron border — the 6 train at 28th St is two blocks away, the 6 at 23rd four. The room is wood, warm light, and a bar built for hanging out: booths and tables for groups, stools for solo nights, no velvet-rope energy. Kips Bay isn’t a scene neighborhood and Sundays Well doesn’t pretend to be a scene bar — it’s where locals walk in sneakers and where Midtown South coworkers end up after a 5pm meeting because the happy hour goes until 7pm and the kitchen has food worth ordering.
