The best NoHo happy hours right now are Phebe’s Tavern (Mon–Fri 4–8pm: $5 beers, $6 Guinness, $10 cocktails), Von (a daily 4–7pm with $6 beers, $7 wines, and $10 frozen margaritas), and Great Jones Distilling Co. (Manhattan’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition, with $11 cocktails, $2 oysters, and $3 wings, Tue–Fri 3:30–6pm). NoHo is small and dense — the Bowery, Bond Street, and Great Jones blocks between Houston and Astor are packed with good bars — so this short stretch punches well above its size. The Wren and ATLA (Enrique Olvera’s modern Mexican, $13 margs and $5 tacos) round out the deals. We list each spot by its true block so we don’t double-count the Bowery-and-Houston bars that belong to Nolita next door. Walkable from the 6 at Bleecker St or the B/D/F/M at Broadway–Lafayette.

Where to find a happy hour
The Bowery, Bond, and Great Jones deals — NoHo is dense with them. More in our best cocktail bars and best wine bar happy hours guides.
Phebe’s Tavern On now
Verdict: the NoHo standby — a corner tavern at Bowery and East 4th with one of the longest, friendliest happy hours downtown: Monday to Friday, 4 to 8pm, $5 beers, $6 Guinness and Stella, $8 wines, $10 cocktails. $10 burger Mondays, Taco Tuesdays. The move: a burger and a Guinness in a booth. Four hours, every weekday — the reliable one.

Von On now
Verdict: the wine-bar move — a narrow, candlelit Bleecker St spot just off Bowery with one of the best everyday deals around: $6 beers, $7 wines, and $10 frozen margaritas, every day 4 to 7pm. The move: a glass of something natural at the bar. Low-key, no-attitude, and one of NoHo’s longest-running locals.

The Wren On now
Verdict: the cocktail move — a dark, woody Bowery bar with a weekday happy hour 3 to 7pm: $12 select cocktails, $2 off select drafts, $10 wine. The move: a cocktail and the back-room calm before it fills. A solid, central NoHo option that runs the deal four hours a day.

Great Jones Distilling Co. On now
Verdict: the whiskey move — Manhattan’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition, on Broadway at Great Jones, with a happy hour Tuesday to Friday 3:30 to 6pm (and Sundays all day): $11 cocktails, $2 oysters, $3 wings. The move: a rye cocktail and $2 oysters at the bar, then the distillery tour. A genuinely good deal in a spectacular room.

310 Bowery Bar On now
Verdict: the easy cocktail lounge — a NoHo cocktail bar on Bowery with a Monday-to-Friday 5 to 7pm happy hour and a low-lit, date-friendly room. The move: an early cocktail before dinner on the Bowery. Honest caveat: the window’s posted, but confirm the current happy-hour pours — they move around.

ATLA On now
Verdict: the margarita move — Enrique Olvera’s modern Mexican on Lafayette with a Monday-to-Saturday 4 to 6pm happy hour: $13 margaritas, $13 guac and totopos, $5 tacos and quesadillas, $5 agua frescas. The move: a marg and a couple of $5 tacos on the patio. Polished, but the happy hour is a real deal for the quality.

Aperitivo, Italian & the rest
Old-world Italian, a hotel trattoria, and a proper pub — confirm any reported window first. More across all of Manhattan.
Swift Hibernian Lounge
Verdict: the proper Irish pub — a NoHo institution on East 4th since 1995, with a deep Irish-whiskey list, a serious beer selection, and a happy hour. The move: a whiskey and a perfectly poured Guinness in a dark wooden booth. Honest caveat: the exact happy-hour window isn’t posted, so confirm — no live pill until then.
Il Buco
Verdict: the aperitivo move — a beloved Bond St Italian (in a former antique shop) doing small plates from 4 to 6pm, an old-world room with a serious wine list. The move: a glass of Italian red and the small plates at the bar before the dinner rush. Honest caveat: confirm the days — it’s a sit-down restaurant, so the early-evening bar is the play, not a cheap-drinks deal.
ilbuco.com · See our best wine bar happy hours in NYC
Gemma
Verdict: the see-and-be-seen move — the candlelit Italian trattoria on the ground floor of The Bowery Hotel, plus a Gemma wine room, with a happy hour and one of the best people-watching bars downtown. The move: a glass of wine at the bar and the people-watching. Honest caveat: hotel pricing and a scene — confirm the happy-hour window before you bank on a deal.

Sláinte
Verdict: the cheap-pint move — a two-decade Bowery staple with 24 craft drafts, an Irish-leaning kitchen, and a reported $5-everything happy hour (drafts, wells, house wine). The move: a $5 draft and the game. Honest caveat: the window’s reported as daily until 7pm but isn’t clearly posted, so confirm — no live pill until then.
