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.

Chinatown
The Crown
$10.00
50 Bowery 21st Floor, New York, NY 10013, USA
The official menu's 'Cans' section lists standard beers (Corona, Modelo Especial, Brooklyn Summer, Montauk Watermelon, Miller Highlife, Michelob Ultra) all at $10 each. Those are single-can prices, not a multi-beer bucket, so no per-beer derivation was needed. A non-alcoholic Montauk N.A. IPA (0% ABV) is priced at $7 but was excluded from the regular beer price since it contains no alcohol.
Happy hour: Mon–Fri · 16:00–18:00 · $6.00

Lei
$60.00
15-17 Doyers St, New York, NY 10013, USA
Lei ("Chinatown Wine") is primarily a natural-wine bar, but its official wine list PDF includes a dedicated "Lambic" section (page 55 of 56) that lists actual beer: spontaneously-fermented lambic/farmhouse beers from Brasserie des Voirons (Bourgeons de Sapin, Sureau, Pinot Noir x2, Bitter Orange, Chenin, Framboise, Terre, Aligoté — all $60) and Cantillon (Vigneronne, Saint Lamvinus — both $100). $60 is the cheapest beer on the menu. The source does not specify bottle size, so per the task's serving-size fallback the $60 figure is reported as the standing bottle/serving price for the cheapest beer rather than an assumed pint.

297 Grand St, New York, NY 10002, USA
Beverly's is a confirmed operating bar (artist-run 'Full Bar and Art Exhibition Space', Tue-Sat 5pm-2am) at 297 Grand St, which it moved to in summer 2023 after ~10 years at 21 Essex St. No current standalone beer price could be confirmed. Checked the homepage which links to a 'DRINK MENU' page, but that page is JS-rendered and returned no visible items or prices via fetch. Checked Instagram (@beverlysnyc) for 2026 posts -- found event/exhibition announcements but nothing on beer pricing or happy hour. A Time Out NYC bar listing states 'Average beer: $5.

Tokyo Karaoke Lounge and Sake Club
44 Bowery, New York, NY 10013, USA
The venue (branded 'Shinsen' online, DBA Tokyo Karaoke Lounge and Sake Club / Tokyo Sake Club) confirms it operates a walk-in lounge with 'a full bar with beer, wine, hard liquor, and specialty cocktails' and states 'Stop by the lounge for happy hour' and 'Open for happy hour until late,' so it is a real bar, not a private-room-only rental. No happy-hour beer price or window could be pinned down beyond the vague 'happy hour until late' phrase, which lacks days and does not meet the verification bar.
