Park Slope
Happy Hour

The best happy hour in Park Slope, and it isn’t close. Five hours, five days, and a $3 PBR at the end of them. High Dive opens at 3pm and the deal starts the second the door does — $3 PBR, $4 well drinks, a dollar off all nineteen rotating taps, until 8pm. Nothing else on Fifth Avenue gives you that much runway. The room earns it: pinball, board games, a bowl of buttery popcorn that keeps reappearing, and an enclosed patio with French doors they actually open in summer. The local move is 6:30 on a Thursday, once the after-work rush has thinned and you still have ninety minutes of cheap beer left. Open till 4am, every night of the week.

The four-hour window locals actually default to. Drafts are $4 or less from 3 to 7 Monday through Friday and everything else comes down a dollar. We had this at a 4pm start and $5 drafts — wrong on both counts, and wrong in the direction that made the bar look worse than it is. The patio is the reason to come: one enormous umbrella, open till 11 on weeknights and midnight Friday and Saturday. Food is Dub Pies — real New Zealand meat pies, shepherd’s and veggie curry — plus house-made Kentucky beer cheese, and the kitchen runs until 4am. Which in this neighborhood is nearly a public service.

The only seven-day happy hour in the neighborhood, and Monday runs six hours. Straight off their own happy hour menu: Monday 4 to 10pm, Tuesday through Saturday 4 to 6, Sunday 4 to 9. Beer $7, wine $8, sangria $9, the classic margarita and the frozen Rosalita $11, mango or mezcal $12 — and every botana on the list is $12, which covers the guacamole, the nachos, the flautas and the sopes. Our old listing said Mon–Fri 5–7pm and put them at 431 Seventh Avenue. It’s 434, between 14th and 15th. A six-hour Monday at a real Mexican kitchen is the most underrated thing on this page. There’s a patio.

The happy hour here exists only as a picture on their website, which is why every listing site including ours has had it wrong. Read off their own menu board: 4 to 7pm weekdays, a 20oz house lager $7, classic boilermaker $7, house special boilermaker $9, Stone Fence $11, highballs $9, Manhattan and negroni $11, draft wine $2 off. We had been telling you it ended at 6 with $6 wells. A standalone boilermaker list is unusual anywhere; on Ninth Street it’s the entire reason to walk over. Low light, long wooden bar, exposed brick, pinball, 28 rotating lines. The honest caveat: the non-www address serves a broken certificate.

Four hours, Monday to Thursday, which around here counts as generous. Six dollars for a draft, eleven for house wine by the glass — prosecco, white, rosé or red — and twelve for a negroni, mule, Aperol spritz, old fashioned, americano or mimosa. It has held this corner at 11th and Sixth for over twenty years and has enclosed outdoor seating that works year-round. At 5pm on a Tuesday it is entirely strollers and neighbors, and that is not a knock: a $12 spritz with the doors open and nobody shouting is a specific and increasingly rare thing. Skip Friday through Sunday — the deal doesn’t run.

The cocktails are the ones with names — Kickstarter (rum, espresso, turbinado, coffee bitters), Parks & Leisure, Smoky Mary’s, an old fashioned — all $12. Wine $10, draft $6 for a Montauk pilsner or Three’s Logical Conclusion. But order food: hummus with house-baked flatbread and chicken liver mousse are $9 each and the Niman Ranch pork butt sliders are $14, and that is where the value actually sits. The honest caveat: their happy hour page says Monday to Friday and their own hours block says Monday to Thursday. We badge the four days both agree on. Last call is 45 minutes before close, which catches people out. Our old listing invented a weekend window that has never existed.

The only genuinely seven-day window on this page, and the earliest start in Park Slope. Two to six Monday through Thursday, three to six Friday through Sunday, covering oysters, clams, seafood towers, tapas, cocktails and house sangría. What it does not cover is prices: WILD publishes the window and not one number, so we are not printing one. Go anyway if you want a raw bar at 2pm on a Tuesday, and go definitely if you eat gluten-free — the entire kitchen is, pizza and pasta included, which nowhere else in the neighborhood can say. Entrance is on Fifth. Bottomless brunch weekends 11 to 4, $25 or $35.

One hour. Show up at 5:01. The Bar Goto martini — Japanese gin or vodka, pickled shallot — is $12 inside that hour, the junmai vodka soda drops from $17 to $12, and nori chips are $5 (per the bar’s October 2026 menu). This is the Lower East Side operation’s Brooklyn room, walk-ins only, no reservations, and the one-hour window is genuinely the point rather than a technicality. The honest caveat: their site says the deal is daily, but they are closed Mondays, so it is Tuesday through Sunday. Sunday adds a shochu and highball list. Geography: Bergen between Fifth and Flatbush, the North Slope edge.

A dollar off every drink from open until 8pm, Monday to Friday. Thin per round — but it runs four to five hours, which beats a lot of the two-hour windows on this street. The real headline is Martini Wednesdays: $12 classic and house martinis, all night. Oysters Thursday to Saturday, Wellfleets, three for $12 or a dozen for $45. The room is small and dark with rotating video art on the walls and live jazz some nights. Friday it opens at 3 instead of 4, so you get the extra hour. First Tuesday of the month is Drink and Draw, $10. This is the old Loki Bar room, if you were around for that.

Two dollars off every pint, well drink and house wine until 7pm, Monday to Friday. The honest caveat, because nobody else prints it: they don’t open until 5 Monday through Thursday, so midweek that is a two-hour window, not the long one it reads like. Friday they open at 4 and you get three. Twenty taps, a full liquor list, a real kitchen running to 10:30 on weeknights and 11:30 on weekends, and outdoor space. Geography, stated plainly: at 21st Street this is Greenwood Heights, not Park Slope. It’s here because it is the closest real deal south of the expressway and nobody else is telling you about it.

Three to five, Tuesday through Friday: twelve dollars gets you a Pompelmo, an Aperol or Louise’s own spritz, and they bring chips with it. That is the entire offer, and it is honestly priced for what it is. What we had published — $6 drafts, $8 wine, $8 cocktails Monday to Friday — appears on no menu they have ever printed, and reads like a garbled copy of their sister bar’s deal. Allison Arevalo started this selling pasta off her stoop in 2020. Honest caveat: the happy hour menu doesn’t say which of the two Eighth Avenue rooms pours it, so call if you’re walking to a specific one.

Monday to Thursday, 5 to 7, and that is genuinely all they publish. No prices anywhere on the site, and we are not going to invent some. Worth knowing anyway, because the room is the draw: small, low-lit, limited seating, one block off Prospect Park on 12th Street. No reservations, and no parties of six or more — they state both up front and mean them, which makes this a two-people-at-the-bar place rather than a birthday place. Go early in the window; there isn’t much seating and it fills. If anyone gets us the price list, it goes here.

A dollar off everything, from the moment the doors open until 7pm, Monday through Friday — and with twenty-six craft draft lines, sixty-plus bottles and cans and a draft cocktail, “everything” covers a lot. Doors are 4pm Monday to Thursday and 3pm Friday, so Friday is the long window. Weekends it’s $1 off the house Bloody Marys and mimosas. We had this bar down as having no happy hour at all — the pub set us straight, and these terms come from them directly. Backyard beer garden, the occasional cask-conditioned ale, open till 4am Monday through Saturday and 2am Sunday. It sits at Bergen on the Boerum Hill seam, the far northern edge of anything you would call Park Slope. The Local Move: Friday at 3, straight out to the back.

No window, no clock, no “ends at 7” — Freddy’s just prices things low permanently. Ask about the Fab 5 Freddy and you get a five-dollar special. The Freddy’s Happy Meal is a Miller High Life or a Tecate with a shot of house liquor for $9. The Misguided Low-life swaps in a rye and runs $11. Noon to 4am, seven days. The back room runs burlesque and live music on a separate ticket, and the bar itself survived being evicted for an arena and rebuilt down here. The Honest Caveat: don’t call about bookings — they ask you not to, in writing.

The most frustrating entry on this page. The Dram Shop publishes a happy hour that is genuinely half off drafts, wells and wines, plus $10 frozen cocktails and a $7.75 munchie menu — and publishes no days and no times to go with it. We are not guessing a window. What they do timestamp: half-price burgers Tuesdays 3–11pm, two-for-one tacos Thursdays same hours, kids eat free Saturday 11:30 to 4, and $5 mimosas with brunch. It is a pool-and-darts bar with a real Tex-Mex kitchen. Half-price wine at a pool table shouldn’t exist and here it does.

The most-cited happy hour in Park Slope, and the two people citing it disagree on the money. Brookvin is the only Park Slope venue in The Infatuation’s current 22-bar Brooklyn happy hour guide. Both sources agree on the window — all day Monday, until 7pm Tuesday to Friday, until 5pm weekends. Then The Infatuation says $6 draft, $9 wine and $8 mac and cheese, and Park Slope Pulse says $7, $10 and $9. Brookvin’s own site has no happy hour page at all, so we print the window and no price. Wine bar, back garden, and the Vermont cheddar mac is why regulars call it dinner. An all-day Monday is rare here.

Park Slope Pulse published this in July 2026 and Bar Louise’s own site says nothing about a happy hour, so treat it as reported: all day Monday until 11, then 3:30 to 6 Tuesday through Friday, $10 house wines, spritzes and mocktails, $14 martinis. Half-price wine bottles Wednesdays. The one worth the walk is weekend afternoons — $10 martinis if you order oysters, 1 to 4 — and $10 spritzes all day Sunday. It is the cocktail sibling of Pasta Louise, on Seventh at 3rd. The kitchen and the backyard both shut at 10, so early is the move.

BKMag put this at $6 draft beer, wine and well drinks, Monday to Friday 4 to 7, in September 2024. Union Hall’s own menus are photographs of a 2021 QR-code menu, so there is nothing current to check it against: the window is probably right and the price is two years old. Go for the room regardless. Two indoor bocce courts, bookshelf walls, a working fireplace, and a genuine ticketed music and comedy venue in the basement. At 4:30 on a Tuesday it is one of the calmest good bars in Brooklyn. At 9 on a Friday it is a wall of people waiting for a bocce court. Strict 21+, no exceptions.

Park Slope Pulse has this at Monday to Friday, 4 to 7, with $3 off wine and draft beer and cocktails between $7 and $11. Black Oak’s own website advertises “happy-hour food” as a feature and then publishes neither a schedule nor a price, which is a strange thing to do to your own business. The room runs the full arc of a Park Slope day: coffee and pastry counter until 3, weekend brunch from 10, dinner after. If they published the hours it would rank a section higher on this page, and we’d happily move it.

If this is accurate it is the longest happy hour in Park Slope by a wide margin: Sunday through Thursday, 11am to 7pm, two-for-one on classic and fruit margaritas, mojitos, sangría, piña coladas and bottled beer. The source is Park Slope Pulse, July 2026. Bogotá’s own site uses the phrase “happy hour” exactly zero times, and an eight-hour two-for-one is a big enough claim that we won’t badge it until somebody confirms it on the phone. Their doors do open at 11, which at least makes it possible. The room is loud, birthday-prone and built for groups, with a full Colombian kitchen behind the bar.

The claim is $3 select drafts and well drinks, 5 to 7, every day of the week, and it comes from Your Brooklyn Guide in October 2023. Buttermilk has no website — Facebook only — so there is no first-party anything to check it against, and a three-year-old price is a three-year-old price. It is here because a real $3 draft anywhere in Brooklyn is worth the walk down to 16th Street, and because the bar is very much open. Ask at the door before you commit to a round. South Slope dive, behaves like one, and that is the appeal.

One of the last lesbian bars in New York City. Ginger’s turned 25 in February 2025 and came back from a 19-month pandemic closure a lot of rooms didn’t. Every listing that calls it a great happy hour declines to name a time or a price, and we are not going to be the site that invents one. The programming is the reason to go: Shake IT dance party Fridays, bingo Sundays, karaoke on alternating Thursdays, drag king nights. Front room, pool table in the back, enclosed garden behind that. On a Sunday evening it is the warmest bar on Fifth Avenue and there is no discount involved.

The Gate has held this corner since 1997 and publishes no happy hour, which after a week of reading other people’s listings is refreshing. What it has is the sidewalk: one of the largest outdoor setups on Fifth Avenue, famously tolerant of dogs, and full from the first warm Thursday in April. Thirty-plus cans and bottles on top of the draft list. Open to 2am Thursday through Saturday. One warning that isn’t about the bar: their old domain has been abandoned since 2017 and still advertises an event in April. The live site is the one linked below — anyone citing the other one is citing a ghost.

Barbès does not run a drink special and does not need to. Music every night in the back room and it has been for 24 years — cumbia, chicha, Balkan brass, jazz, and the long-running Slavic Soul Party residency that has outlasted most bars on this page. There is a suggested donation at the door for the band, which is the only money conversation anyone has here. Ninth Street at Sixth Avenue, small, and genuinely packed when the room is good. The Verdict: if you want a cheap drink, go to High Dive. If you want the best hour in Park Slope on a Tuesday night, it is this one.

For years this page sold you $10 cocktails, $7 wine and $6 beer at Miriam between 4 and 6. None of it was real. The phrase “happy hour” does not appear anywhere on their site, and the actual list runs $8 to $10 for a draft, $11 to $14 for a glass of wine and $12 to $15 for a cocktail. What they do have is a house-branded Miriam Lager at $9 and one of the better Israeli kitchens in Brooklyn, open 10am to 10pm on weekdays and from 9 on weekends. Come for shakshuka and a beer, not for a discount. The street-food counter and caterer two doors down at 81 is theirs too.

No happy hour we can verify. The only review that mentions drinking here at happy hour is from 2018 and doesn’t name a price, so there is nothing to publish. The room, though, is a genuine Fifth Avenue holdout: thrift-store maximalism on every wall, pinball, and a patio that is the better seat from May onward. It is the kind of bar disappearing from this stretch a little faster every year, which is most of the argument for going. Sits between 15th and 16th, a few doors from where Sidecar used to be.

We had Bar Basic at 504 Fifth Avenue with $4 drafts and $5 wells from noon to 7 daily. Every part of that was wrong. Bar Basic is at 71 Seventh Avenue in the North Slope, it has one location, it has never been on Fifth, and the phrase “happy hour” appears nowhere on its site — the “noon to 7” was its opening hours, restated by a scraper. What it actually is: a neighborhood bar and grill with a chicken bahn mi, al pastor, pulled pork sliders, a patio and a genuinely kid-friendly menu, open from noon. Fine for an early dinner with people who are five. Not a deal.
