Last confirmed: Nov 9, 2026
Black Rabbit is one of Greenpoint's coziest neighborhood pubs, with dark wood, private booths, a fireplace and a leafy back garden. The vintage-inspired interior gives the bar an old-world feeling, while the drinks and casual pub food keep it relaxed rather than formal.
Its relatively long happy-hour window is ideal for an unhurried meet-up. Come for an inexpensive lager or cocktail, settle into a booth when the weather turns cold, or head out to the beer garden when it's warm enough to linger outside.

Peek Inn's Happy Hour:
$5 beer-and-shot combos, $10 martinis, $10 for 2 hot dogs or two sliders.
Monday–Friday, 4–7 PM
Peek Inn is a small, friendly Greenpoint neighborhood bar from the people behind Cozy Royale and The Meat Hook. The team wanted something between a traditional dive and a more polished cocktail bar, and the result is an easygoing corner spot centered on uncomplicated drinks and satisfying bar snacks.
The happy hour offers one of the neighborhood's better combinations of cheap drinks and inexpensive food. Grab a beer and a shot, split an order of hot dogs or sliders, and enjoy the kind of low-key atmosphere that makes it easy to become a regular.

Tørst is a destination for serious beer drinkers, with a frequently changing tap list, a wide-ranging collection of bottles and cans, and a kitchen that takes its food as seriously as its drinks. The sleek yet welcoming space has helped put Greenpoint on the map for craft-beer enthusiasts.
Happy hour is a chance to explore some of that selection at a lower price, particularly if you're interested in trying unfamiliar breweries or sharing a bottle. The food specials offer another reason to stop in early, whether you're making a meal of it or just grabbing a bite alongside a drink.

Diamond Lil's Happy Hour:
$6 beer, $11 wine, $12 cocktails

Diamond Lil combines an intimate cocktail-bar setting with vintage details, warm lighting and an eye-catching pink onyx bar. It's a good place for a date or a quieter drink when you want something a little more special than a straightforward neighborhood pub.
The weekday drink discounts are appealing on their own, but the oyster special is what makes Diamond Lil especially worth including in a Greenpoint happy-hour guide. Pair a few oysters with a cocktail, or make a stop at the bar before heading elsewhere for dinner.

Late-night, 10 PM-midnight: $10 sardines, $12 Midori Sours
El Pingüino is a Spanish seafood and cocktail bar that puts oysters, conservas, sherry and martinis at the center of the experience. Its intimate, characterful setting feels equally suited to a leisurely aperitivo or a longer evening over shared plates.
Two daily happy-hour windows make it one of the most flexible options on this list. Drop by early for discounted oysters and a martini, or take advantage of the late-night specials when most bars have already returned to regular prices.

Eavesdrop
Greenpoint | Best for cocktails & a curated soundtrack
📍 674 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222
Eavesdrop's Happy Hour:
$2 off cocktails & food, $12 wine, $7 rice lager
Sunday–Wednesday until 7 PM
Last confirmed: Nov 9, 2026
Eavesdrop is a listening-focused cocktail bar designed around good sound, thoughtful drinks and a comfortable place to gather. Natural wine, small plates and carefully selected DJs are part of the appeal, but the room is meant for attentive listening and conversation rather than a full-on dance floor.
Its early-week specials make the bar a more accessible way to try the cocktail program and spend time with the music. It's a particularly good choice for a date or a quiet catch-up when you want the soundtrack to be as considered as what's in your glass.
