Watson's Cocktail Bar on Granby Street runs Happy Hour every Thursday from 5pm to 7pm — no code or app, just ask your server for the current selection. Groups of six or more should call ahead on +44 7961 768949.
A good happy hour does one job: it makes the first drink of the evening easy. Here's what separates the genuinely useful ones from the ones that exist only on a chalkboard.
What Makes A Good Happy Hour?
- Clear timings. If you can't find the start and finish time in ten seconds, it isn't much of an offer.
- No hoops. The best happy hours need no app, code or voucher — you just turn up.
- Drinks you'd actually order. A discount on drinks nobody wants isn't a deal.
- Somewhere you can sit. Standing room only makes the first hour a chore.
Watson's Happy Hour In A Nutshell
Every Thursday, 5pm to 7pm, at 94 Granby Street. There's nothing to download or redeem — ask your server for the current happy hour selection, which is refreshed from time to time. Full details are on our happy hour page.
How To Make The Most Of It
- Arrive at 5pm while the choice of seating is best.
- Order a couple of small plates to share early on.
- Booking for six or more? Ring ahead so a booth is waiting.
- If the evening goes well, stay on — the bar is open until midnight on Thursdays.
