The Uptown Garrison: Daily 4–6pm Happy Hour at a Washington Heights Bar
The Uptown Garrison has a happy hour every day, 4–6pm, at the bar. It’s at 821 W 181st St in Washington Heights, and the schedule doesn’t change by weekday.
The verdict: a dependable early start rather than a long one. Two hours, seven days, no days to memorize. The catch is that the window is all that’s published. The drinks and prices on the happy hour menu aren’t stated, so there’s no way to measure the saving against the regular menu. On Monday to Thursday the bar opens at 4pm, so the happy hour is the first two hours it’s open.

- When: every day, 4–6pm

The Room
The Garrison describes itself as a neighborhood escape: premium coffee in the morning, craft cocktails, and brick oven pizza, “fancy without the frills.” It runs a long day. Coffee and pastries start at 7:30am on weekdays and 9am on weekends, and weekend brunch is table service from 10am to 4pm. The bar is open Monday to Thursday 4pm–12am, Friday and Saturday 10am–1am and Sunday 10am–12am. Dinner is Sunday to Wednesday 4–10pm and Thursday to Saturday 4–11pm. It also takes party and event bookings. The nearest trains are 181 St (A) and 175 St (A).
