NYC restaurants & bars can continue serving to-go cocktails, beer & wine through at least July 26 (and hopefully past that!).
And now that it’s so hot and sticky out, it’s the perfect time to cool off with an icy drink.
Here are 10 places in NYC that are currently serving to-go cocktails so you can still enjoy happy hour, even if it’s at home. Just remember, per New York State regulations all alcoholic beverages must be purchased with food, so be sure to get something to nibble on as well.
Plus, some are also open for outdoor seating now!
1. Las’ Lap, Lower East Side
This cozy rum bar on the Lower East Side offers a wide array of delicious craft cocktails, along with Caribbean bites. “Las’ Lap” is the hour before the end of Trinidad & Tobago’s annual Carnival event.

2. Pinks, East Village
Talk a walk and head over to Pinks in the East Village for some cocktails and a bag of chips to-go! They are offering a full bar to choose from – grab drinks like frozen margaritas, micheladas, wines, spiked seltzers, beers, and more! Pinks is tucked neatly off the busy corner of 1st Avenue and 10th Street concealing its magic from the pedestrian circus, but rewarding those who venture off the avenue to visit.
