On the West Side, Sperry’s has long been king of happy hour, but there’s a friendly coup brewing around the corner. From 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, Roze Pony offers a $9 martini menu built on the traditional gin. (Though, yes, you can substitute vodka if you must.) Pair that with $3 fries, $5 crudités and addictive miso ranch, or $2 raw oysters that come with zingy mignonette and Roze’s signature bloody mary sauce. My hack: Go work at the bar around 2:30 so you’re poised and ready for when the budget oysters and gin arrive at 4 p.m
Best Happy Hour
