Laid back with a neighborhood feel, this Upper East Side pub-restaurant-beer garden hybrid serves lunch and dinner, a variety of local and international beers and traditional cocktails. Stop by during the week for specials like $4 off all imported pitchers and $5 well drinks. Another plus? Happy hour is daily from noon to 7 p.m.
Upper East Side Outdoor Drinks and Entertainment
Outdoor bars on the Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island are a great way to enjoy the warm weather. But who has the best happy hour? The best drinks? The best views? We're here to help you figure that out. Thanks to an influx of younger folks, artisanal cocktails, fair-trade coffee, pubs with craft brews on tap and restaurants that specialize in upscale comfort food and barbecue are the new norm here.
