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.

The Gatehouses

$6.00

Kings County Distillery, 299 Sands St, Brooklyn, NY 11205, USA

The official menu lists only one specifically priced beer item under its 'Beer & Wine' section: Athletic Brewing golden ale for $6.

The section otherwise only states 'We offer a rotating selection of NY-made beers and wines from local friends' with no per-item pricing for the rotating selection.
