Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard it all before. Park Slope is full of strollers, free-spirited moms, and crunchy co-op people. It’s also full of snazzy places to get your happy hour booze on; particularly on the Fifth Avenue corridor between Flatbush Avenue and 3rd Street. We did the dirty work and checked out every dive bar, gastropub, and basically any place with a roof and four walls that looked like it sold alcohol on the aforementioned stretch. So read on, dear cynical reader, and start planning your very own Fifth Avenue pub crawl. Make sure to check out the meal deals at Long Tan and the $5 fresh juice margaritas at Lobo.

Playa also does happy hours on the weekends from 11 to close and pretty much there’s a drink special every night.
This is awesome! Can we get a 7th ave one soon for those of us living (in basements) closer to the park? 7th is def harder to spot bar deals on.
this is a wonderful list!
Sweet list. I like the food suggestions. So when are we planning the happy hour pub crawl?
Cool that you included Bogota. They have great mojitos..and a great happy hour that cant’ be beat..especially on weekends from midnight to 1 am
What about The Gate? I know it’s on the south corner of 5th & 3rd (just outside your scope), but I want to know what their specials actually are–we went there once mid-afternoon and were charged at least 25% less, so I’m sure that there’s some sort of special going on.
The pizza and well drinks are the best thing I’ve ever seen at al di la. ask for wes. super awesome!!!!!
I love my some Bogota..
I’m working on finding out all the cheap-eats/drinks spots in Bay Ridge.. For now I’ve got buy 1 order of wings, get a 2nd order free at Kettle Black – 87th Street and 3rd Avenue, Bay Ridge – & the wings are goooooooooood!
