Self-dubbed the best dive bar in the East Village, Tile Bar couldn’t be cozier, especially during the evening hours when it swells with locals. Charming the neighborhood forty years, don’t expect instagram-worthy wallpaper or trendy cocktails, this the place to go for cold beer, great vibes and some of the best happy hour in the East Village.
Offering $5 drinks (well cocktails and beer), Tile Bar is a great destination to pregame before embarking on your East Village jaunt. Visit often enough and you’ll be on a first-name basis with the bartender, it’s that kind of joint.
Unpopular opinion. I’ll say it. Happy Hour Deals in the East Village (Table of Contents) deserves way more recognition than it gets.
