Ha's Snack Bar releases tables on Resy 20 days ahead at noon, one new date each day. At our last check a table for two was open on 0% of the next 30 dates, though 59% of dates opened at some point, so after the drop the way in is a cancellation alert.

At any given moment, as hard as any room in the city. Across 593,079 availability checks, Ha's Snack Bar has shown a bookable table for two on 0% of the dates in its window, and the same for a party of four. The number that changes the picture is a different one: 59% of the dates we have ever watched here opened at some point before they filled. Much of the calendar becomes available at some moment. The moment is minutes long.
We have recorded 245 release events here, dates going from closed to open under our watch. That is a calendar in constant motion, which reads as empty to anyone who checks it by hand at a random hour.
Open rate at a random moment: 0% for two, 0% for four.
Dates that opened at some point in our record: 59%.
Ha's Snack Bar books on Resy, and new dates appear 20 days ahead at noon. The window rolls forward a day at a time, so each midday one fresh date joins the far end of the calendar and is gone within minutes to the people who were ready.
Noon is a crowded release hour: the city is awake, at a desk, and refreshing. The prime tables on the new date go in the first minute, and a person who arrives at 12:02 sees a calendar that looks as if nothing was ever released. What they do not see is the 245 other times a date on this calendar has reopened.
Release rule: 20 days ahead at noon, one new date each day.
Release events recorded: 245, most of them cancellations.
Late, nearly always. The slot we have seen open most often is 10:00 PM, and 81% of recorded openings fell at 9 PM or later. Openings run from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM, with only 5% before 6 PM and 11% in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window.
This is a snack bar in the literal sense, a place built for a late second stop, and its calendar behaves that way. If your evening can start at ten, the room is far more open to you than its headline number suggests. If it has to start at seven thirty, the record says to plan on an alert rather than a search.
9 PM or later: 81%. Prime time: 11%. Before 6 PM: 5%.
Two routes. The first is the release, 20 days ahead at noon of the date you want, on Resy with your card saved. It is the only reliable way to get a specific Friday or Saturday, and it is a lottery even when you do everything right.
The second seats more people. Watch the week you want and take the cancellation: with 59% of dates opening at some point, and 245 recorded openings, a person who is told the second a table appears gets in. A person who checks twice a day does not. Ask for the late seat when it comes; that is the one that exists.
Party size is not a lever here. Two and four sit at the same 0%. Flexibility about the hour is.
Book on Resy. New dates appear 20 days ahead at noon.
Watch a week rather than a date. 59% of dates open at some point.
Take the late seat. 10:00 PM opens more than any other time.
Skip Sunday: 0 open readings in 84,447 checks. Monday is the best night, at 4,458.
Its sibling Bistrot Ha, a few blocks away, is easier for a party of four: 13% for four against 13% for two.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Ha's Snack Bar on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Lower East Side counter opens 81% of its tables after 9 PM, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
