Happy Hour at The Bearded Lady
The Bearded Lady is a bright, character-filled cocktail bar on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, a short walk from the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden. It is known for inventive original cocktails and a genuinely fun, welcoming room that also books parties and events.
The kitchen leans into shareable plates and raw-bar staples, and the dollar-oyster window makes it a reliable early-evening stop. It manages to feel both neighborly and a little theatrical, in keeping with the name.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 2 to 8pm: $2 off draft beers and $1 off cocktails, bottled beer, and wine. Dollar oysters run from 5 to 8pm, so the sweet spot is arriving mid-afternoon and staying into the oyster window.
The Room
A colorful, high-spirited bar with a long counter and table seating, popular for both after-work drinks and group celebrations. The mood is lively and unpretentious.
