My friend and I purchased the Happy Half Hour Open Bar groupon deal for $79 for two people, $40 bucks each. Totally worth it! The deal comes with open bar while you are in the pod, a 2-for-1 coupon for drinks at the Sky Bar if you want to continue drinking after the ride and 20% food coupon at Brooklyn Bowl.
We lucked out cause there were only 4 people in our pod, which can fit up to 25 people. I was able to drink 4 kettle one vodka and cranberry during the 30 min ride, which saved me money! The view is beautiful!
The Groupon is a must! If I had gotten the regular ticket which is about $35 and bought a drink at the Sky Bar to bring in, it would have costed me more than the open bar deal. Without groupon the happy half hour open bar ride would be over $50.
