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.

udaho

$9.00

350 E 13th St #3, New York, NY 10003, USA

Cheapest regularly-available beer is $9 (Trumer Pilsner draft, Bells-Two Hearted IPA draft, generic bottles/cans, or East Cider are all listed at $9. Guinness draft is $10 and other bottles run $10-$16). Happy hour lists '50% off all beer' rather than a fixed dollar price, so the happy-hour price of $4.50 is derived as 50% of the $9 regular cheapest-beer price, per the official site's own text. Note: the target address given (350 E 13th St #3) is one door number off from this venue's actual address (349 E 13th St). The bar name 'udaho' also closely matches 'Idaho' bar's name -- treated as the same East Village venue given the near-identical address, cross street, and neighborhood.

Happy hour: Mon–Thu · 17:00–19:00 · $4.50  |  Fri · 16:00–19:00 · $4.50

12th Street Ale House

2A

25 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009, USA

Checked 2A's official site homepage, /menu, and /drinks routes — none list an itemized beer menu or any prices, only narrative descriptions of the ground-floor dive bar, upstairs Old Flings cocktail lounge, and downstairs Berlin music venue. A Stuytown East Village happy-hour roundup didn't mention 2A at all. Time Out's 2A profile (originally dated 2010) lists only a generic 'Average drink: $5,' not beer-specific.

96 Tears

110 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009, USA

The official site's /menu route renders the Wine & Beer and Cocktails sections as clickable image-header blocks with no extractable text/prices, and neither of my guessed direct sub-routes (/wine-beer-menu, /cocktail-menu) resolved (404s). /food-menu only links back to /menu for drinks. Instagram (@96tearsnyc) had one post referencing 'HAPPY HOUR ALL NIGHT!
