  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Famous for offering a special for nearly every occasion, attracting locals and tourists alike looking for inexpensive drinks and high-energy. The Irish pub has one of the latest happy hour deals in Times Square, running until 9 PM most nights.

The deals rotate often (like a bottomless dinner, discounted cocktails, etc.), but a happy hour mainstay has been the $30 beer buckets with your choice of six Heineken Silvers, High Noons, Bud Lights, or PBRs. The pub also frequently discounts its cocktails, and its frozen margarita is a crowd favorite.
