Wanna Get Drunk?
Booze Party is your guide to getting smashed on the cheap in NYC. Happy hours, open bars, drink specials and straight up cheap booze. Updated daily!
The Deal: Cheap booze
The Place: The Booty Bodega
The Price: $6
The Details: The Bushwick kids decided to reopen the old Bodega, which for a minute was the sickest party spot in Brooklyn. I'm not sure what the booze situation is but they used to sell $2 beer and usually were pretty cool about BYOB. With Dirtyfinger, Morsy, Lily Vanilli and We Stole The Show live.

The Deal: Open Bar 7-11pm
The Place: The Garment Room
The Price: $20
The Details: I know what you're saying, brolinski. You're like, "Yo Flynn skin, whattup with the $20 cover, chieftain?" And that's a fair question. First of all Art Battles are fucking rad. Secondly, imagine you spent 7-11pm in a bar, even a total dive. How much would you spend during that time? Yeah, way more then $20. So just trust me and check this shit out cause these dudes are pretty awesome. I mean a live painting competition with a 4-hour open bar - what's not to love?

Aww, that's so sweet of him. All of this somehow helps Haiti, although I don't think actual money is being raised, just awareness. Did you hear about Haiti? Yeah, OK good.

The Deal: $3 High Life
The Place: The Charleston
The Price: FREE
The Details: New weekly party at punk rock haven, The Charleston. This party seems to be a little hipster oriented but the DJ is Prince Terrence who knows a thing or two about punk. You also get a free pizza with each beer you buy and unlike Alligator it doesn't taste like balls. Not that I would know what balls taste like. What are you trying to get at man? Oh, yeah...well, fuck you bro!

The Deal: $5 PBR+whiskey & Tecate+tequila combos.
The Place: Savalas
The Price: FREE
The Details: To any venues reading this take a look at what Savalas is doing. They book random DJs during the week and slightly bigger & better ones on the weekend. Then they offer the same drink specials every night, just like you do, but they make each night seem like some unique event by sending out invites and making flyers and all that shit. Hence, they keep getting listed. It's a good scam.

The Place: The Studio at Webster Hall
The Price: $5 w/flyer, $10 w/o
The Details: We've all been to Trash so I'll spare you the details. It's been around forever and continues to be one of the best weeklies in town. Also, I'm digging the new look for the flyer. Live performance by Zuzuka.

The Deal: Free Booze...maybe?
The Place: KS Art
The Price: FREE
The Details: Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth fame is having a launch party for a book she put together. She's also performing as part of Bad Adult. I don't know for sure that there's going to be booze at this but it's a launch party so that usually means they at least have wine. If not, whatever bro. It's Kim fucking Gordon.

The Deal: No deal...but it's an awesome party. Flask it, like everyone else at this shit.
The Place: Public Assembly
The Price: $5
The Details: I'm not one to list a joint with pricey booze and no drink specials but this one is a lock to be party of the night so I'm posting it anyway. So to make it Booze Party worthy I have two suggestions: 1) Get drunk at Zablowski's first. They got $3 beer, PBR might even be $2. 2) Bring a flask. This shit is the official Ninjasonik after party for their gig with The Clipse! Cerebral Ballzy & Ninjasonik will be performing live.

It's good fun if you're hammered. w/Razor Tail, The Goat and Bad Shit.

There will be DJ sets by the band members (don't worry, you won't be able to hear the terrible music they play through Arrow's awful sound system) and, according to FreeNYC, free PBR. Even if you don't give a flying pornographic fuck about the band at least go suck down some brews. You might even win tickets to their appearance on Jimmy Fallon - like OMG! I think my dick just got hard.

The Price: FREE
The Details: When you're dead and buried Disco Down will still be going strong. It's not the best party and it's certainly not the worst but it's always there, waiting with open arms. It loves you and your silly clothes and uneven haircut. Like a mother holding a baby to it's breast...only there's vodka flowing from the nipple.

The Place: Home Sweet Home
The Price: FREE
The Details: New party brought to you by Lauren Flax, Aaron K and Lauren Dillard. I'm not a big fan of Home Sweet Home, mostly because the drink prices are kinda steep but an open bar makes it worth a pass by. The MOB crew no a lot more about this one then I do so check out their post about it.
