Bella Union: $5 Espresso Martini Tuesdays

Bella Union in Kips Bay runs a generous weekday happy hour Monday through Friday from 4–8pm with $7 draft beers, $5 bottles and cans, $8 wines and mixed drinks.

Bella Union in Kips Bay runs $5 espresso martinis every Tuesday, a standout deal in a neighbourhood that skews more sports bar than cocktail destination. The bar is low-key and unpretentious, and Tuesday nights tend to draw a consistent local crowd. Good for a post-work stop before heading to or from the nearby NYU Medical corridor.
