Every bar we track

All 3270 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.

Kips Bay

Lyndon Bar

$4.00

156 E 33rd St, New York, NY 10016, USA

Cheapest regularly-available beer is a 12oz can of Budweiser, Bud Light, Genesee Lager, or Genesee Cream Ale at $4, per the bar's own printed menu image linked from its homepage. Draft pints start at $9 (Stella, Goose Island Hazy IPA, Kona Big Wave, Shocktop). There is a standing '$6 Beer+Shot Special' (Budweiser/Bud Light/Genesee Cream Ale/Genesee Lager + a well shot for $6) but the menu does not tie it to specific days/hours, so it is not logged as a happy-hour window -- it appears to be an all-day standing special, not a time-limited happy hour.
