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.

Wilka's Sports Bar

$6.00

241 Bowery, New York, NY 10002, USA

Cheapest regularly-available beer is $6: canned Narragansett or Lambert's Lager. Cheapest draft is House Lager at $7. Separately, Mon-Fri 4-6pm happy hour gives '$2 off House Drinks,' which applied to House Lager ($7-$2=$5) is the cheapest happy-hour beer price found. This is a discount off the listed price, not a distinct menu-listed happy-hour price, so it is derived rather than directly stated. There is also an $8 'Narragansett can + well liquor' combo during happy hour, but that is a beer+shot bundle, not a per-beer price, so it was excluded per the pitchers/bundles rule.

Happy hour: Mon–Fri · 16:00–18:00 · $5.00
