Visiting The Folly is the closest experience you’ll have to visiting a pirate ship, at least in my opinion. This SoHo happy hour spot oozes a nautical theme made up of old wood and leather seats. The menu is made up of. The happy hour special applies to drinks only but the atmosphere alone warrants a visit.

What makes this happy hour spot in SoHo stand out is that they offer wines, drafts, and frozen grogs daily until 8 pm. Now I know what you’re thinking, what the hell is a frozen grog? It’s essentially a frozen cocktail but typically made with rum or beer in it. It sounds pretty wild but tastes surprisingly good! And lucky for you, it’s offered during happy hour so you don’t need to spend a fortune to try this unique drink.
