The Heights Bar & Grill: $8 Frozen Margaritas on a Year-Round Roof
The Heights Bar & Grill runs happy hour every day: Monday to Friday 11:30am–7pm, Saturday and Sunday 4–7pm once brunch wraps, and again from 11pm to close. It’s one flight up at 2867 Broadway, between 111th and 112th Streets in Morningside Heights, and the deal is short: $8 16oz frozen margaritas, $7 well drinks, $7 house wine and $5 drafts, Guinness excluded.
The verdict: the frozen margarita is the reason to climb the stairs. A 16oz lime frozen is $12 on the regular drinks menu and the flavored ones are $13, so $8 saves you $4–5 a pint. Drafts fall from $8 to $5, and a glass from the regular wine list is $10 against $7 for house wine. A weekday window that opens at 11:30am is about as long as Manhattan happy hours get. The honest caveat: the deal stops at the basics. The $14–17 house cocktails and martinis stay full price, and the $10 Guinness is specifically excluded.
The Happy Hour
The windows are Monday–Friday 11:30am–7pm, Saturday–Sunday 4–7pm and 11pm–close nightly, not during brunch. The list: $8 16oz frozen margaritas, $7 well drinks (any well liquor and mixer), $5 drafts and $7 house wine by the glass. Beyond happy hour, Heights Pilsner and a shot is $8 from noon to 11pm daily. Monday brings half-price wings and tenders 4–11pm (ten wings are $17 on the dinner menu), Tuesday is $2 off every taco 4–11pm, and Wednesday adds a free draft to any burger, sliders excluded. Weekdays 11:30am–4pm there’s a $15 lunch with a free soda and refills.
The Room
The Heights says it’s family-owned and has been pouring since 1997. The bar is on the second floor, and the rooftop sits under a retractable cover, so it stays open in winter. The kitchen is Tex-Mex — tacos, nachos, quesadillas, burritos, wings and $17–22 burgers — and the roof and the main floor over Broadway can be booked for parties. The 1 train at Cathedral Pkwy–110th St is the closest stop. More in our Manhattan happy hour hub, the best rooftop bars in NYC and late-night happy hours.
