Every bar we track

All 3329 bars in our NYC beer-price database, grouped by neighborhood and sorted cheapest-first. These are real beer prices, accurate to the best of our knowledge — but a "beer" means whatever that bar pours, so sizes vary. Prices change often, so call ahead. Prefer the live view? Open the map.

This directory is for browsing and checking details, rather than a definitive ranking of identical pours. A listed price may be for a can, bottle, draft, or a happy-hour special; read the note and source on each card before making a trip.

BAR ao

249 E 49th St 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10017, USA

BAR ao is a small Japanese sake/shochu-and-jazz speakeasy on the 2nd floor above Okatte Tanto NY at 249 E 49th St. Buzz-in entry, live jazz Fri/Sat, described consistently across Atly, Corner, and Postcard listings as a currently operating bar, so it passes the walk-in-and-buy-a-drink test. The presumed parent company site does not even list BAR ao among its brands (Hupo, Shan, La Fleur Rouge, Roku, Chinese Odyssey, Café Odyssey, Nana), so that domain is likely unaffiliated and was not used further.

Bar Chimera

550 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA

Bar Chimera's official site describes martini, whiskey, and wine programs and exposes its current dinner and bar menus, but neither the site nor a current independent opening review documents a beer offering or beer price. No defensible beer price is available.

Bar Orai

212 E 52nd St 2nd fl, New York, NY 10022, USA

Bar Orai is a confirmed operating whisky/vinyl speakeasy bar at 212 E 52nd St, 2nd fl, Midtown East, NYC (Tue-Sat, hours vary by source: 6pm-12am per Instagram, 5pm-11pm Tue-Thu/6pm-12am Fri-Sat per secondary sources. Checked: the official Instagram (@bar.orai) profile/bio, which shows hours and a Japanese-whisky/vinyl-listening concept but no posted drink menu or prices.

Berk's Bar

19 E 52nd St, New York, NY 10022, USA

Berk's Bar is an operating hotel bar (Omni Berkshire Place, 23-seat bar with full bar service, beer, and cocktails per its business listings) but no accessible source lists individual beer/drink prices. The dedicated drinks-menu routes and (both surfaced directly by search as Berk's Bar menu links) are technically inaccessible: the server presents a TLS certificate for an unrelated domain, confirmed via both WebFetch and a curl attempt. A secondary editorial-style source described the bar only in prose ('evening cocktails and satisfying hors d'oeuvres') with no numeric pricing or happy-hour times. No qualifying happy-hour window could be pinned from any source.

Bierhaus NYC

Bloom's Tavern

208 E 58th St, New York, NY 10022, USA

Confirmed Bloom's Tavern is an operating Celtic-themed pub/bar (homepage: 'extensive beer and wine list', 'one of New York's few taverns with a working fireplace', open 11am-late daily) -- not a dinner-only restaurant. However, no page we could access shows per-item beer prices. No happy-hour days could be pinned from any accessible source.

Cafe Luce – Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

235 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022, USA

Copinette

891 1st Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA

Copinette's own site has separate Dinner Menu, Cocktail Menu, Happy Hour, Wine List, and Brunch pages, none of which list a beer section, brand, or price -- the Cocktail Menu page shows only 12 cocktails ($16-17) and 4 non-alcoholic drinks ($12-13). The Dinner Menu has food only. The Happy Hour page (served daily 4-6pm) states 'all alcoholic beverages' are $10 but only enumerates specific cocktails (Copinette Cosmo, Aperol Spritz, Eros Spritz) and wines (Rosé, Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, Malbec) -- beer is never named, so it is unconfirmed whether the $10 happy-hour price applies to beer at all. A secondary WebSearch snippet referenced an 'Athletic IPA' (a non-alcoholic beer brand) as 'a popular choice' but with no price and no direct source page to verify.
