Most happy-hour joints give you a choice: cheap drinks or cheap food. It’s seemingly the only way a restaurant can offer one without killing its profit margin. Somehow List (along with its sister restaurant Barolo) does both. Eminently drinkable bottles of wine are available for $14 (or $3.75 a glass), draft beers are $2.95, and the entire bar menu is half-off for happy hour: 4–6:30 p.m. daily, 9 p.m.–close on weeknights—and all day Sunday and Monday. Favorites include the calamari, potato gnocchi with black truffles, and the spicy meatballs. Combine all that with stylish decor and solid service, and it’s easy to see why List’s relatively small space is almost always full. They don’t take reservations, and there’s not much of a waiting area, but for a budget- and stomach-conscious happy-hour crowd, it’s impossible to beat.
