The best outdoor happy hours in NYC

http://ift.tt/2r2pyht

When 5 pm rolls around, who says you have to go straight home? Why not take advantage of the sunlight and the long days from the comfort of one of our best outdoor bars! But, since rooftop bars and boat bars can get pricey, we have the budget-conscious covered with happy hours you can enjoy on a roof, in a garden, or by the water, so you can soak up your vitamin D without dipping into your summer vacation fund.

Bonnie Vee

Monday-Friday, 5-8pm. Cocktails for $10, draft beers for $5, wine for $8. 

While the downstairs of Bonnie Vee feels like stepping into Don Draper’s dream man-cave, its quaint upstairs patio is a completely different world. Quirky and comfy, lots of padded seating welcomes you to relax with a few friends, and an antique clock on the wall is a fantastic reminder to run downstairs at 7:59pm for one last happy hour bevvy. As far as their specials go, it is one of the most extensive and generous in the city. A “bartender’s choice” option for $10 means you can come over and over and always try something new. Also for $10 is the Jessica Rabbit, a frozen strawberry slushy drink with chili-infused Santera Tequila Blanco, which is perfect for a hot afternoon. For $8 enjoy a Pinot Grigio, Malbec or Prosecco, and for $5 have a pint of Goose Island IPA or Narragansett.

Freehold

Monday– Friday, 10am-7pm. Half off bar. 

The grassy, spacious outdoor area of this bumping Williamsburg hangout is an apt setting for working, relaxing,  or even enjoy a match of outdoor Ping-Pong. In addition to their amazing daily happy hour, they also offer great specials virtually every day of the week. On Mondays, enjoy one of their signature burgers and a beer for $10. On Tuesdays, skip the lines for Maison Premiere and go to them for $1 oysters and $5 wine. Wednesday is $3 draft night, and Thursdays are $6 Moscow Mules.

Nowadays

Monday-Friday, 4-7pm. 2 for 1 drinks. 

Mister Sunday founders Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter own this incredible 16,000 sqft seasonal outdoor hangout. Sit among birch trees and honey locust and enjoy artisinal beer and soda specials and barbecue options for eaters of all dietary lifestyles. Ten-percent of the bar’s profits benefit Robin Hood, which organizes to fight poverty in the city, so unwind after a long day of work knowing it’s for a good cause.

The West 79th Street Boat Basin Café

Monday-Friday, 3-6pm. $2 off all beer, well liquor and wine. 

Yes, it gets crowded. And yes, it gets crowded with annoyingly preppy UWSers. But the view, the terrace and the breeze make it hard to write off the Boat Basin. Summer in the city almost requires a visit or two to this social hub, and if you don’t mind waiting, you will be rewarded with a cynicism-busting sunset over the Hudson while you down burgers and beers with your best friends.

Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden

Monday-Friday, 5-7pm. $4 off all half-litres of beer. 

This authentic Czech beer garden, opened in 1910, offers plenty of mingle-friendly picnic tables, where you can sit while you sample cheap platters of sausage and a solid lineup of European and domestic beers (pints $6, pitchers $16). Though the huge, tree-canopied garden is open year-round, summer is the prime time to soak up some rays over a pint. Prost!
