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.

Cheapest regular beer is $8, tied among several options on the current official drinks menu: Ninth Ward Bayou Brew (house draught), Corona, Abita Strawberry, Fat Tire Ale, Abita Turbo Dog, Michelob Ultra, and Downeast Cider (bottles/cans). The menu also lists a recurring happy hour: 'Buy 1 Get 1 per person, Weekdays 4-7PM' covering well drinks, draughts, bottles & cans, and prosecco. This is a BOGO deal, not a flat price, so the derived per-beer price during happy hour is $4 (i.e., two $8 beers for the price of one, or $8 for two beers = $4/beer), based on the cheapest $8 beer.
