Valerie
#1 Happy HourStylish cocktail bar near Bryant Park serving affordable drinks, oysters and small plates in a glamorous setting.
Valerie’s Midtown happy hour is the stuff of legend: $12 classic cocktails, $1 oysters and $9 wines served in a dazzling Art Deco setting.
The bar’s gilded interiors, warm lighting and upbeat soundtrack attract a crowd of locals and after‑work professionals. Despite the stylish surroundings, the prices are refreshingly approachable, making it a standout in Midtown’s cocktail scene.
Beyond the deals, attentive bartenders and comfortable seating encourage guests to stay awhile. It’s ideal for date nights, colleague meetups or solo visits when you want to treat yourself without breaking the bank.
