  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

A popular destination for a dinner and drinks, The Wayland is a craft cocktail bar in the East Village with live music and great bites served in a rustic cabin-like atmosphere. The live music schedule varies, but there’s generally three shows a week.

The Wayland run a mean happy hour deal weekends from 4pm to 7pm. Oysters go for $10 per half dozen or $18 for a dozen, served alongside $10 cocktails, $5 beers and $9 glasses of wine. It’s a steal of deal.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
