Yuca Bar runs an all-day happy hour until 8pm — $6 sangria, $4 beer, $7 cocktails — plus 50% off tapas on Sundays and Mondays, at a long-running Latin spot on Avenue A.
The drink deal runs daily until 8pm: $6 sangria and wine, $4 beers, and $7 margaritas, mojitos, caipirinhas, and cocktails. The food deals are where Yuca really separates: 50% off all tapas Sundays and Mondays (after ~4:30–5pm) and 50% off tacos on Tuesdays, 4–7pm. The tapas are arguably better than the entrées, so the half-off nights are the play. It gets loud and dance-y after 9pm on weekends.
Yuca Bar: An All-Day Latin Happy Hour Till 8pm on Avenue A
Yuca Bar is a long-running Latin spot on Avenue A with an all-day happy hour till 8pm — $6 sangria, $4 beer, $7 cocktails — and, better yet, 50% off all tapas on Sundays and Mondays. Fish tacos, arepas, ceviches, and pitchers of sangria built right, in a loud, festive room that turns into a Latin dance party on weekends.
About Yuca Bar
An East Village (Alphabet City) favorite for more than a decade, Yuca serves a fusion of Latin cuisine from a dozen-plus countries — Cuban, Puerto Rican, Panamanian, and beyond. Open-window seating and a sidewalk café make it a prime people-watching perch, and the weekends bring proper Latin parties: reggaeton, salsa, bachata, and merengue, loud after 9pm and open till 4am Friday and Saturday.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Daily until 8pm on drinks, with standout food deals layered on:
- $6 sangria & wine, $4 beer, $7 cocktails — margaritas, mojitos, caipirinhas
- 50% off all tapas — Sundays and Mondays (after ~4:30–5pm)
- 50% off tacos — “Loco Taco” Tuesdays, 4–7pm
The tapas are some of the best things on the menu, so the half-off nights turn a cheap round into a full, cheap meal.
What to Order
A pitcher of sangria (red or white) and a spread of tapas — yuca fries, empanadas, arepas, ceviches. The fish tacos and the espresso-BBQ short ribs are repeat-order picks. Go on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday and the half-off deal makes ordering the whole table easy.
The Space & Vibe
Bright, festive, and Latin-leaning — colorful decor, moody lighting, and a mix of neighborhood regulars and a younger crowd. It’s small and gets packed and loud, especially later, when it tips into a dance spot. Reservations help for groups; the window and sidewalk seats are the best in the house.
The Alphabet City Angle
111 Avenue A near 7th Street, across from Tompkins Square Park in Alphabet City. The L at First Avenue is closest, with the 6 at Astor Place and the F at Second Avenue a short walk. It’s a cornerstone of the Avenue A scene.
