The Stone House at Clove Lakes: $11 Cocktails and $14 Oysters, Mon–Fri 12–6pm
The Stone House at Clove Lakes runs its happy hour Monday to Friday, 12–6pm, in the bar area only, at 1150 Clove Rd in Staten Island. Domestic beer is $4, cocktails are $11–$12, and six Blue Point oysters are $14.
The verdict: a six-hour weekday window and a real discount at a steakhouse where the regular cocktails run $18. The Spicy Ginger Margarita is $11 against $18 on the regular menu, and six Blue Point oysters are $14 against $22. The catch is the bar-area-only rule: a table in the dining room doesn’t get it. The food discounts are steep too: lamb chops are $17 against $31 on the dinner menu.

The Room
The Stone House sits on its own private island in Clove Lakes Park, in a slate-roofed stone cottage with a lakeside patio, and is also a wedding and event venue. It calls itself an upscale American steakhouse. Regular hours are 11:30am–9:30pm Monday to Thursday, 11:30am–11pm Friday, 11am–11pm Saturday and 11am–9pm Sunday.
