Why is it that NYC – a city filled with wine bars and plenty of people who want to drink wine – seems to have (too) many wine spots that are practically empty after work? Is it that other places draw a crowd because of their proximity to one’s workplace? (A suspicious argument, since one can most likely find a wine bar in almost any neighborhood.) Or is it because, in today’s economy, an after work drink goes down so much nicer when it’s wallet friendly.
Luckily, there are a few NYC Wine Bars with Happy Hours. This list is by no means complete: the intention is to continue searching and sharing. [Note: As circumstances change from month to month, so may this list… some specials might not be available anymore or new specials might have replaced them. Please let us know if you see any glaring inconsistencies.]
