The Stumble Inn: A Cheap UES Sports Bar Happy Hour
The Stumble Inn is the classic Upper East Side sports bar — a hard-wood, no-pretense American pub where, as the regulars put it, the entire neighborhood shows up and everyone knows everyone. There’s a long bar, booths down the back wall, dozens of high-def screens for the game, and a beer-pong station, with a younger local crowd most nights of the week. After the final play, the lights drop and the DJ takes over: it’s a sports bar by day and a party by night, and a reliable first stop on a UES night out, with Iggy’s right next door.
The kitchen is built around the famous stuffed burgers — the Stuffed Stumbler with bacon and blue cheese, the Cheese Monster packed with American, Swiss, and cheddar — alongside pub staples like nachos, chicken tenders, wings, and bacon-egg-and-cheese sliders. To wash it down there are 14 drafts, 15 bottled beers like Brooklyn Lager and Hoegaarden, and specialty cocktails. It’s hearty, affordable bar food made for game day and group nights, and the happy-hour pricing keeps the tab in check.
The Happy Hour
A famously cheap happy hour at the UES sports bar:
- Mon–Thu, open till 4pm — ‘Happy Happy Hour’ — half off the entire bar
- $4 wells & Rolling Rock — plus $5 house wines in the regular window
- All the sports — dozens of HD screens and generous pours
- The standout is the ‘Happy Happy Hour’ — Monday through Thursday from open until 4pm, the entire bar is half off. A regular happy hour follows in the late afternoon, with deals like $4 well drinks and Rolling Rock pints and $5 house wines. Windows and prices can change, so confirm the current happy hour at the bar.
