Negroni Week is already in full swing, with bars all over the city offering up special drinks for worthy causes, but there are also plenty of new deals, happy hours and bars to check out this month. Here’s where you’ll find us…

Maison Libanaise

Summer is here, so what better drink is there to enjoy in the hot and sticky weather than an icy cold glass of frosé? After its roaring success last summer, Maison Libanaise is bringing back the refreshing concoction of churned frozen rosé wine and fresh raspberry purée for the warmer months and we’re more than excited to delve into a glass (or five). Priced at $48 for a glass, or $198 for a pitcher, you’ll know where to find us all summer long. And don’t forget to swing by the rooftop launch party this weekend, complete with reggae tunes and free-flow frosé!

Priced at $520 per person, it’s the perfect place to head to with friends and spend the afternoon enjoying a vast selection of beers and other hard-to-resist offerings.

Head here every Monday to Friday between 3pm and 7pm, and you can enjoy a six pack of Peroni’s, along with eight pieces (yep, eight!) of delicious fried chicken for $298.

Another happy hour that knows a thing or two about keeping hunger at bay can be found at 208.
