1. Sláinte (304 Bowery)

If you've ever been to Ireland, you know sláinte is the Irish version of "Cheers!" It means "good health!" It's a fabulous alternative to cheers.

So a bar named Sláinte has got to be fun, right? Especially considering their Thursday night specials. They've got $1 tacos with the purchase of a drink, and $25 beer buckets.

That's right: Dollar. Tacos. Does it get better than dollar tacos? We knew we loved living in NYC for a reason. 

They've also got $5 wine, select beers, and liquor from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., so that's pretty nice too.

Well, your options in Midtown are pretty limited, but there is this bar called Windfall that has a pretty decent Thursday night happy hour deal.

From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. they've got $4 Bud and Molson pints. You could definitely do worse than dropping $4 a beer, especially since we could name plenty of places that would charge you $14 for a beer.
