I went to El Pingüino about two weeks ago and absolutely loved that they offer happy hour seven days a week and it’s becoming a routine for us!
The hours are 4–7 PM, plus a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight.

Their seafood happy hour is pretty simple they only offer one type of oyster but it was super fresh and delicious. Clean, lightly briny, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.

And they have really great basque cheesecake!

The overall vibe is relaxed and easygoing, making it a great spot to unwind after work or grab a late-night drink.

If you’re in Greenpoint and love oysters, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Went to El Pingüino Saturday night for happy hour and it was fantastic. The drinks were on point—we both had excellent martinis, followed by oysters that were some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfect size with incredible flavor. Dillion took great care of us and gave spot-on recommendations that made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back.

Good oysters and a happy hour that runs until 7pm. The oysters were fresh and while I’m not a huge fan of red sauce I did enjoy the freshly shaved horseradish. That and a few other small Spanish plates and $12 martinis made this a pleasant low key early evening out

Had such a lovely dinner last night at El Pingüino. Highly recommend the Japanese martini and canned mussels. Some of the best oysters I’ve ever had. Lucked out to go on a night when there was an Aperol Spritz rep so we got some free drinks. Awesome experience all around!

Love this spot! Almost always able to get a seat at the bar or a table later on in the evening. The team members are always super accommodating, helpful, and friendly! And I’ve never had a bad glass or bottle of wine here – and they don’t have my normal Italian staples, so that says a lot! Vibes are immaculate

An intimate local cocktail bar with a well-curated selection of drinks. Their drinks menu is very extensive which was nice to see. My favorite drinks were the Shiso Painkiller and Paper Plane. We also got the cheesecake, which was perfection <3. Great happy hour deals - they also have a "nighttime happy hour" which is from 10pm-12am! Suuuper friendly and helpful staff and good vibes overall. I would love to come back for oysters next time.

Definitely come for happy hour, 7 days a week 4-7pm! We enjoyed the half price oysters and $12 martinis. The food can get pretty pricey since they’re all small plates, but they all tasted great. We had the roasted peppers, steamed clams, cheese plate, and basque cheesecake. Service was friendly but pretty slow. Overall, I’d come again, but definitely stick with the happy hour deals!

Had this place on my list for a while, and finally got around to going last week. Did not disappoint. The seafood tower was incredible, including the oysters. Nice and fresh. Drinks were great as was the chorizo and peppers. Would definitely come back during their happy hour.

The best oysters, mussels, shrimps, crab salad, piquillos in Greenpoint and in NY so far (personally). The service was fantastic and fast and prices were reasonable considering the quality.

I would recommend coming here during happy hour and enjoy some oysters and the 12 usd martini.

I absolutely loved this place, the drinks and vibes are perfect. The place is not too loud. I would recommend this place for all sort of occasions. It’s simply perfect.
