The dorm-like hotel's Pod Café has introduced a new Happy Hour, which runs Wednesday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Drink selections include glasses of Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir, Dogfish Head India Pale Ales, Mimosas and Bellinis—all just $6 each. There are also $16 half bottles of Catena Malbec, and $4 Pabst Blue Ribbons.

Compare this to the $13 cocktails at Le Bain down at The Standard—where you can also perch on funky chairs sitting on astro-turf, only with a whole lot more "scene."

So, the crowd at the Pod Hotel may be more frugal than fabulous, but if you're like us, sometimes you just want a cheap drink or five to close out your day. Booze without the 'tude.

Now you know where to get it. Cheers!
