Saxon + Parole: NoHo Bar Hour

Saxon + Parole is a well-regarded Bowery restaurant with a serious bar programme anchored by American whiskeys and craft cocktails. The weekday happy hour brings $10 cocktails and $8 wines — strong value for a bar with this level of execution. The front bar area is first-come, with a room that transitions smoothly from after-work drinks into a dinner crowd by 7.
