I’m always interested in exploring new bars in the neighborhood, so I headed over to Kinsale Tavern on Friday night with my boyfriend for some drinks and bar food. It was anything but rowdy on a Friday, but that actually suited us just fine because we wanted to talk and be able to hear [...]

For years, I had been reading about a $10 pitcher and 25 cent wing special every Tuesday at Dillingers here in Astoria. Dillingers is a little big off the beaten path, on 30th Ave but around 46th Street.
My friend and I arrived on Tuesday around 8pm and it was packed. Â I initially thought [...]

It may take a lot (or a little, no judging here) to persuade you to go out on a Monday night, so if you’re looking for a good excuse we’ve got one for you. The Hill (aptly named since it’s in Murray Hill) offers a pretty incredible Monday night special: Enjoy all you can drink [...]

While we don’t usually single out deal websites’ specific offers on the blog, this one is way too good not to share. Just yesterday LivingSocial ran a deal that we tweeted about – $20 worth of Atomic Wings for $10. I’m a HUGE fan of Atomic Wings (for my thoughts, check out one of my first blog posts when [...]

Naturally nearly every bar in town is touting some special to attract the crowds this Sunday. You’ll be able to find $4 pints, half-priced drinks, etc., just about anywhere. However, we noticed a few deals that seemed to be particularly good if you’re planning on kicking back a bunch of beers and eating [...]

I recently fell back in love with daytime drinking. Â There’s really nothing better than having a few beers midday, going to bed by midnight, and having all of Sunday hangover-free to tackle whatever projects you wanted to finish over the weekend.
Last weekend, I headed over to Down the Hatch to indulge in some [...]
