Most happy hours start around 5 p.m. — just in time for the post-work crowd. But if you’re looking for something that starts a little earlier, here are some happy hours that will accommodate.
Miss Lily’s: Both locations of the Caribbean spot offer a weekday happy hour from noon to 7 p.m. In the East Village, get dark and stormy slushies and rum punch for $7, and draft beer and wine for $5. Over at the flagship in SoHo, get draft beer for $5, wine by the glass for $7 and specialty cocktails for $9. 109 Avenue A, 212-812-1482; 132 W. Houston St., 212-812-1482, misslilys.com
Brooklyn Crab: Plan accordingly — on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, get $4 Narragansett, as well as $1 oysters, all-day (that’s 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.) at the year-round seafood shack. 24 Reed St., Red Hook, 718-643-2722, brooklyncrab.com
Boulton & Watt: From noon to 7 p.m. weekdays, get $6 draft beers and $6 glasses of wine at the Alphabet City bar. On weekends, the happy hour switches to brunch fare — $6 mimosas, Bloody Marys and sangria, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 5 Avenue A, 646-490-6004, boultonandwattnyc.com

Chilo’s: Grab a seat on the outside patio and settle into the Brooklyn bar’s happy hour, which lasts from 4 to 6:30 p.m. weekdays — and even earlier on Fridays, at noon — and includes $8 margaritas and $1 off drafts, cans, well drinks and wines. Not to be missed is the taco happy hour, too: three tacos and a can of Tecate for $10. 323 Franklin Ave., Bed-Stuy, chilosbk.com
Diamond Reef: Grab a cocktail then head to the large backyard space at this newish bar from the Attaboy team. Happy hour is weekdays from open til 7 p.m. Most of the week that means 5 p.m., but on Fridays you can get a head start at 3 p.m. Happy hour deals include $8 for select cocktails (sorry, not the frozen Penicillin), $2 off wine by the glass, and a “shot of something good” plus a mug of beer for $10. 1057 Atlantic Ave., Bed-Stuy, diamondreefnyc.com
