Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar: Happy Hour 3–6pm on Fifth Ave
Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar has happy hour Monday to Saturday, 3–6pm, at 551 5th Ave on the corner of 45th Street. Live music runs Monday to Saturday from 4:30 to 8:30pm. The restaurant is closed on Sundays.
The verdict: a convenient Fifth Avenue stop, not a price play. The deal items and prices aren’t published, and the regular cocktail list is $15–$19, so don’t budget for a steal. What you get is the window itself, six days a week, with music for its last 90 minutes. The catch is the unknown: with no posted prices, you can’t check the saving in advance.
