About Tara Rose
Tara Rose at 384 Third Ave plays it two ways: a hip, easygoing cocktail bar up front and a private speakeasy in the back. The room runs creative cocktails alongside American bar fare, and the 4.7 rating across 1,200+ reviews says it lands.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Weekdays 4 to 7, the spritzes and mules drop to $9-$10 and select drafts hit $7. The food deal — two Bites & Fries for $19.95 — makes it an actual dinner-adjacent move, not just drinks. Thursday is the one to circle: specials run all night.
What to Order
The $9 Aperol or Hugo Spritz with the 2-for-$19.95 Bites & Fries is the value play. Designated driver? There’s an $8 N/A spritz, which is a nice touch.
The Space & Vibe
Laid-back and a little date-night, with the speakeasy in back if you want to disappear for a round. Good middle ground between a loud sports bar and a stuffy cocktail den.
The Murray Hill Angle
Lower-Third-Ave Murray Hill, near the Kips Bay line, walkable from the 6 at 28th and 33rd. Easy to fold into a crawl up Third.
