169 Bar - Known for its live music and dim, cozy ambience of a shady Paris-Montmartre den, 169 Bar offers a laid-back environment dug into the off-the-rout part of the Lower East Side. Styled as a dive, it features a long bar, but lots of space around it, not to mention the quaint music corner housing an old-school piano. But the real treat starts every day at 4 p.m., when you can get well drinks with $3 off, and anything else minus $2 until 7:30p.m., definitely one of the best happy hour bars in town.
