Happy Hour at The Beast Next Door
The Beast Next Door is a warm, French-inspired cafe and cocktail bar in Long Island City, doubling as a coffee-and-sandwich spot by day and a rustic-elegant drinking room by night. The kitchen turns out charcuterie, toasted gourmet sandwiches, salads, and house specials.
The evening draw is a friendly, candlelit bar with handcrafted cocktails, a solid wine and beer list, and a dependable oyster deal. It is the kind of neighborhood hybrid you can settle into for an afternoon coffee or an unhurried dinner.
The Happy Hour
Weekday happy hour is 4 to 7pm: $8 wines, $5 drafts and well drinks, $2 off cocktails, and a $6 shot-and-Narragansett. Dollar oysters run Sunday through Friday from 4 to 7pm (with a drink order, max a dozen per person), making early evenings the value play.
