Every bar we track

All 3264 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.

Guardian at the W

201 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10003, USA

Guardian at the W is an upscale rooftop cocktail bar atop the W New York-Union Square (opened March 30, 2026) with a $75-per-person minimum spend for seated reservations. Multiple sources describe a 'sharp wine and beer selection' but none disclose individual beer prices. None of these named a specific draft beer price, so no regular price or happy-hour price can be confirmed. This is a real, operating rooftop bar (walk-ins are implied to be possible if willing to wait, per The Rooftop Guide), not a restaurant serving beer only with dinner, so it is not excluded as not_a_bar.
