The Upper West Side's happy hour scene caters to a neighborhood crowd that knows what it likes. Wine bars, gastropubs, and sports bars line Columbus and Amsterdam, with reliable weekday deals that rarely disappoint. It's less hectic than downtown, with a pace that suits the residential feel. Most specials run from late afternoon into early evening, making it an easy stop on the way home from work or the park.
