Cold beer and crispy fried chicken is the perfect pairing on a summer day, and one upscale downtown restaurant is helping you indulge. At a good price!
En Japanese Brasserie, the West Village’s luxe multilevel Japanese restaurant, just launched new summer specials, and its Japanese beer and fried chicken bucket are particularly enticing.
The special costs $95 and includes a large bucket of the restaurant’s signature fried chicken and Japanese craft beers for four people. Better yet, it runs on the weekends, Tuesday to Sunday, from 5:30pm to 8pm. At less than $25 a person for bites and drinks, that’s a pretty good deal in Manhattan. An order for fried chicken (on a plate, not a bucket), typically goes for $19 on the dinner menu, so happy hour is definitely offering a value.
The happy hour will run all summer and is available at EN Japanese Brasserie’s bar or outdoor seating.
More of a late-night drinker? EN Japanese Brasserie has also launched a series of groovy vinyl sessions, Wednesdays - Saturdays, 10pm - 2am. Resident DJs will play curated record collections, and Japanese craft cocktails are served. Vintage turntables and Westminster Royal High Fidelity speakers set the mood for an immersive audio experience. The restaurant itself has rare records from around the world, handpicked by founder Reika Alexander.
If you’re looking to get lit, the music bar also offers a Japanese bottle service called ‘Botorukipu,’ which is the concept of ‘bottle keep.’ Guests will be able to purchase and enjoy an unfinished bottle of alcohol, which will be kept under their name for the next time they return to the restaurant. Talk about a cool way to impress a date!
