Chill and cozy, this dimly lit bar serves up killer cocktails, juicy oysters, and a vibrant vibe that's perfect for any neighborhood hangout.
"When: Daily, 3-7pm The Deal: $2 oysters, $10 cocktails, $5 draft beer It’s hard to come across a normal bar on the Lower East Side. You know, something without a gimmick. Like couches covered in plastic. Or arcade games. Or a toilet-less bathroom. Black Crescent has none of those things. It’s just a normal-looking room with good food and a great oyster Happy Hour." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
"When: Daily, starting at 5pm The Deal: $1 oysters Even this year, LES bars get fairly crowded. To avoid that situation, go to the Black Crescent, one of the neighborhood’s most relaxed bars. They have sidewalk tables where you can hang out with a friend as you slurp an East Coast oyster (or seventeen). For a particularly memorable 2020 experience, claim the fenced-in table in front of a broken ATM. The Black Crescent staff calls it the “VIP” spot." - hannah albertine
"For something more casual than a hidden speakeasy with teacup cocktails, try Black Crescent. It’s about a five-minute walk from La Contenta, and it has dollar oysters all night. There are a bunch of high-top tables and it never gets too loud." - Hannah Albertine
