The Craftsman: $7 Drafts and Late Nights by Columbia
The Craftsman, a café-by-day, bar-by-night at 3155 Broadway, doesn’t post a happy hour. It doesn’t need to: house drafts are $7, cans $6 and a Miller High Life $4 all night.
The verdict: the best everyday prices near the 125th St end of Columbia, with 24 craft beers on rotation and a 4am close from Thursday to Sunday. Cheaper at 11pm than plenty of happy hours are at 5pm.
What to Expect
By day it’s a juice and coffee café run with Pulp Juice and Kitchen; by night it’s a bar with $11–$14 cocktails (a kale-and-ginger Tequila Mockingbird, a $12 rye Catcher in the Rye), $10 frozen drinks and $8–$10 wine. Small plates until 11:30pm. Live jazz every Sunday at 8:30pm and a vinyl DJ on the first and third Thursday of each month.
