New York City/2-for-1 Happy Hours

2-for-1 Happy Hours
in NYC

Buy one, get one, on a schedule. The NYC bars that still pour two for the price of one, what the second drink actually covers, and the one that lets you bank it for later.

Most of these run 5–8pm. Gym Sportsbar starts at 4pm, Ten Degrees does weekend afternoons, and Keybar runs all night on Tuesdays.

Manhattan

Three bars, three different ideas of what the second drink covers. Rockbar spells it out, Gym gives you the longest window, Ten Degrees is the only one that runs on a weekend afternoon.

01Rockbar

On nowStarts soon

Christopher Street gay bar · 185 Christopher St, West Village · $

  • Beer, well and call liquor, Mon–Fri 5–7pm2-for-1
  • Happy hourMon–Fri 5–7pm

The clearest 2-for-1 in Manhattan: the bar tells you exactly what it covers. Beer, well and call liquor, two for one, Monday to Friday 5–7pm. Two hours is short, so arrive at five, not at ten to seven. Call liquor being in the deal is the detail that matters: most buy-one-get-one signs stop at the rail.

02GYM Sportsbar

On nowStarts soon

Chelsea gay sports bar · 167 8th Ave (18th–19th St), Chelsea · $

  • 2-for-1 happy hour, Mon–Fri 4–8pm (not on holidays)2-for-1
  • Happy hourMon–Fri 4–8pm

The longest 2-for-1 window in Manhattan: four hours, every weekday. From 4 to 8pm Monday to Friday it is two for one, except on holidays. Go before a game rather than during one, when the bar fills and the second drink takes as long to arrive as the first.

03Ten Degrees

On nowStarts soon

St Marks Place bar · 121 St Marks Pl, East Village · $$

  • Buy one, get one, Mon–Fri 5–8pm and Sat–Sun 2–5pmBOGO
  • Meat, cheese and wine "happy meal"$15
  • Happy hourMon–Fri 5–8pm · Sat–Sun 2–5pm

The 2-for-1 that also works on a Saturday afternoon. Buy one, get one weeknights 5–8pm and weekend afternoons 2–5pm, plus a $15 plate of meat, cheese and wine. Pair the happy meal with the weekend window and it is an afternoon, not a pregame.

Brooklyn and Queens

The best 2-for-1 in the city is in Bushwick, and the best view comes with one in Flushing.

04Keybar

On nowStarts soon

Bushwick DJ bar with a drink-ticket system · 143 Troutman St (Central–Evergreen), Bushwick · $

  • Buy one, get a ticket for a free drink of the same valueBOGO
  • All night Tuesday, 6pm–2amBOGO
  • Happy hourDaily 6–8pm · Tue 6pm–2am

The best 2-for-1 in New York, because the second drink waits for you. Every drink you buy during happy hour earns a ticket for a free one of the same value: drafts, bottles, cans, shots, mixed drinks and cocktails. Keybar says the ticket never expires, so you can drink it tonight or bring it back for someone's birthday. Happy hour is daily from 6pm and all night on Tuesday until 2am. The Honest Caveat: the bar's own site gives the daily close as 8pm in one place and 9pm in another, so plan on 8.

05Moon Bar Rooftop

On nowStarts soon

Flushing rooftop lounge, eighth and ninth floors · 137-72 Northern Blvd, Flushing · $$

  • Buy one, get one cocktails, 5–8pmBOGO
  • Happy hourWed–Mon 5–8pm

A buy-one-get-one cocktail with the skyline thrown in. Moon Bar runs BOGO cocktails from 5 to 8pm, in a lounge on the eighth floor with the roof above it, off the 7 at Flushing-Main St. Cocktails, not beer, so this is the pick for a round of something stirred rather than a cheap pint. The Honest Caveat: a 20% gratuity goes on every check, and the bar's menu says it is closed Tuesdays while its homepage now lists Tuesday hours. Go Wednesday to Monday.

06Albatross

On nowStarts soon

Astoria gay bar · 36-19 24th Ave (at 37th St), Astoria · $

  • Two-for-one happy hour, Mon–Fri 5–8pm2-for-1
  • Happy hourMon–Fri 5–8pm

Astoria's two-for-one. Albatross pours two for one Monday to Friday 5–8pm. The bar's own site says 2-4-1 without saying what is excluded, so assume the rail and draft beer rather than the top shelf.

FAQ

Where can I get a 2-for-1 happy hour in Manhattan?

Rockbar at 185 Christopher St pours two for one on beer, well and call liquor, Monday to Friday 5–7pm. Gym Sportsbar at 167 8th Ave in Chelsea runs 2-for-1 Monday to Friday 4–8pm (not on holidays), and Ten Degrees at 121 St Marks Place does buy-one-get-one weekdays 5–8pm and weekends 2–5pm.

Which bar lets you save the free drink for later?

Keybar at 143 Troutman St in Bushwick. Every drink you buy during happy hour comes with a ticket for a free drink of the same value, and the bar says the ticket never expires, so you can drink it now or bring it back another night. Happy hour is daily from 6pm and all night on Tuesday, 6pm–2am.

Is a 2-for-1 better than half price?

Only if you were going to have the second drink anyway, and only if you can drink it before it goes warm. Half price saves the same money on one round without the second glass. If you are drinking alone or driving, a half-price happy hour is the better deal; with a friend, 2-for-1 is the same thing with less paperwork.

Are there 2-for-1 happy hours in Queens?

Yes. Albatross in Astoria (36-19 24th Ave) runs a two-for-one happy hour Monday to Friday 5–8pm, and Moon Bar at 137-72 Northern Blvd in Flushing does buy-one-get-one cocktails from 5 to 8pm (its menu says it is closed Tuesdays).

Why isn’t my bar’s 2-for-1 on this page?

Because we couldn’t confirm it this month. Plenty of bars still have a buy-one-get-one sign in the window and nothing about it on their own site or menu. The full list below this page’s picks is every 2-for-1 we track, with the month we last checked each one. Run one of them? Tell us.
