Union Square is one of the city's most connected intersections, and the happy hour options around it reflect that accessibility. Cocktail bars, wine spots, and gastropubs serve the office crowd from surrounding neighborhoods, with weekday specials that start in the late afternoon. The park itself is a meeting point for after-work groups, and the bars within a few blocks cater to every taste and budget.
