Jake's Dilemma is the Upper West Side's best dive bar — a sports-and-beer institution on Amsterdam Avenue running a generous 4-hour happy hour from 4 to 8pm every day of the week. $4 drafts, $5 Bud Lights, and $6 well drinks make this the cheapest reliable happy hour between 72nd and 110th Street. The TVs are always on, the crowd is neighborhood-first, and the vibe is exactly what a dive bar should be.
