Anable Basin: LIC Waterfront HH

East River waterfront bar in LIC with direct Manhattan skyline views and a Mon–Fri 4–7pm happy hour that makes the commute worthwhile.

Anable Basin is the East River waterfront bar that makes Long Island City worth the trip. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday with $6 beers and $8 wines. The marina setting, Manhattan views, and unpretentious vibe make this one of the best outdoor happy hours in all of New York, and one of the most under-visited.
