Winnie Said: Weekday Happy Hour From 11am, Wings $1.50 Each
Winnie Said runs a weekday happy hour at 1624 Amsterdam Ave in Hamilton Heights: Monday to Friday, drinks from 11am to 7pm and food deals from 11am to 4pm. Well drinks and wine are $7, margaritas are $8, and wings are $1.50 each.
The verdict: this is a daytime deal first and an after-work deal second. It starts at opening, so it suits a late weekday lunch with a beer better than a 5pm drink. Draft and classic beers are only a dollar off, and the bar doesn’t post the full price, so the beer discount is the weakest part. The $7 wells and wines and the $1.50 wings are the parts to build a round around. The catch: the food deals stop at 4pm, three hours before the drinks do.

The Room
Winnie Said bills itself as a campfire without the smoke, a “little hillside cabin in Harlem.” The front room has a large bar and TVs for games, and the back room is the quieter one. It’s open daily 11am–2am, and the kitchen closes at midnight. The nearest trains are the 1 at 137 St-City College and 145 St.
