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.

Scarlet Lounge

$12.00

468 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024, USA

Three are tied for cheapest at $12 each: VT Beer Makers 'Feather' Pilsner, Zero Gravity 'Green State' Lager, and Kronenbourg 1664 (France) Pilsner. Other beers run higher: Arrowood Farms Porch Beer (Wild Ale) $14, De La Senne Taras Boulba (Belgian Ale) $15, Brix City Orbituary (DIPA) $15, St Bernardus Tripel (Ale) $15. There are also two non-alcoholic 'Le Petit Beret' craft beers at $12 each (Ipa Ambree, Blonde) which were excluded from the regular price since they are non-alcoholic. The PDF menu's file metadata is dated December 6, 2023 (~2.7 years old), so pricing could have drifted since.

Dahlia

$14.00

269 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10023, USA

Official menu PDF lists a 'Beers' section with 5 alcoholic beers: Zero Gravity Green State Lager $14 (cheapest), BRLO Rose Cider $15, Barreled Souls Speakeasy Pain Killer $16, St Bernardus Triple Ale $16, and Jolly Pumpkin Aquamarine Dream $16. A separate 'Non Alcoholic' section also lists 'Le Petit Beret Craft Beers' (Ipa Ambree and Blonde) at $13 each, but these are explicitly non-alcoholic and were excluded from the regular beer price since the venue itself categorizes them outside its alcoholic beer offering. No happy-hour beer pricing appears anywhere on the current official menu.
