“ Best HH in the UWS! $5.75/beer, $6.25/wine and $8.25 well drinks and some cocktails and this goes until 7 pm (on a Saturday). The bartenders are nice and accommodating. This is more a sport bar vibe but a nice one! Def my go to from now on. ”

“ My wife and I came here on Saturday as it was one of the only bars nearby that has HH on the weekend! We had a great host who got us seated immediately since we were going to only have a drink or two before dinner. The place has tvs playing games all over, 4 booths, and 4 table tops. My wife got 2 Sauvignon Blancs and I got 2 caipirinha Brazilian mixed drink. The wine was a good pour and the caipirinha was made well. The wine was only $6 each and my mixed drinks were $8 each! ”

“ 4 stars is for the guy running this place by himself this afternoon, shout out to him! The drinks are okay and the food is okay (3 stars)... happy hour prices are great though ”

“ I always have an awesome time at Bodega 88! The empanadas here are seriously next-level... crispy, perfectly golden, and filled with flavor. I tried all three - the beef, spinach and chicken, and all were phenomenal. The happy hour specials are such a great deal too (and include the empanadas!). Our servers are always super friendly and make sure we are taken care of the entire time. Huge fan!! ”

“ Just came here last night and had a wonderful evening. One of the better-priced Happy Hour options in town. Sat down outside with some friends and we ordered some very tasty red Sangria and a bunch of Empanadas (which come in 3 varieties - Spinach/Vegetarian, Chicken, and Pork). All of this was super-cheap, particularly by NYC standards (Empanadas at less than $3 each, Sangria/Wine at just over $6 per glass) - but all of it was flavorful. Service was prompt enough, but they took a while to get to our table at times simply because the place was decently packed for Happy Hour (even on a Monday). As to exactly how much things cost at the end, I've no earthly clue - since one of the people from my group snuck away to pay the bill before the rest of us could blink. Loved my time here not just for the great company though, I'm sure just about anyone would enjoy a good Happy Hour here. ”

“ I absolutely LOVE Bodega 88. The food is delicious and the vibe is so fantastic! The owners were also so great. ”

“ Came here for lunch and happy hour it was my first time and was very impressed. The drinks and lite bite were delicious. The price was very reasonable I would definitely come back. It's a small hole in the wall but great for drinks and food. I came here for the drinks we had margaritas and a mojitos both were perfect. For the food we tried the empanadas and the calamari very flavorful. The server/ bartender was amazing and very attentive. Worth the visit! ”

“ Great little sports bar on the Upper West Side. Came here with my family to watch the NBA finals. Super chill vibe. Lots of big screen TVS in the bar area and every booth has its own flat screen. Plenty of tapas and bar food available. Service is very good and attentive. Wings are available 4 different ways. They were crispy and well done. We ordered them with dry rub, buffalo, and Asian citrus. All were very good. Tacos come 2 to an order and we're stuffed with chicken and steak and topped with pico and guacamole. Nachos we're very good piled high with black beans, pico, guacamole, and cheese. Could have used more chips on the bottom, but I'm sure if we asked they would have more as I saw the server bring some to another table. Our team lost, but we didn't let that ruin an otherwise good evening. ”

“ I came here for happy hour and dinner on a Friday. They don't take reservations and seating is first come, first served. I arrived at 5:15 and all the low top booth tables were already taken. We sat at a high top with barstool seating. It was a little cramped, but it worked. They do have hooks underneath the tables for holding purses and jackets, which was helpful. The music was a tiny bit loud, but you could have a conversation with a slightly raised voice. They were playing fun, dancey reggaeton and latin hits. It attracted a diverse mix of people, both old and young. Happy hour ends at 7. They have $8 margaritas, mojitos, and caipirinhas. For an extra $1, you can add mango, passionfruit, or strawberry flavor to your margarita. I had both a mojito and a margarita. They were tasty, not too sweet, and decently strong, but not very memorable otherwise. To eat, we shared chips and guacamole. The guac was served with brightly colored tortilla chips, as well as a couple plantain chips. It was chunky and fresh. I also ordered chimichurri fries which were topped with manchego cheese. The chimichurri flavor was subtle so they were essentially cheese fries. They arrived very hot and it was a pretty good portion size. I enjoyed the spinach and cheese empanadas as well. The empanada crust was thick and perfectly fried. My friend got the shrimp tacos and said they were not the best. My sister enjoyed the chicharrones. Service was a bit slow, especially for the drinks. We were served by multiple waiters and they didn't do a good job of keeping track of our orders. At one point, they brought a drink that we didn't order. We initially refused it and they gave it to us anyway so we thought it was complimentary, but they ended up charging us for it. Glad I tried it but because they don't take reservations and service was a little off, not sure I'd come back. ”
