Cheap beer in Astoria
Astoria is the best-value drinking neighborhood in Queens and one of the best in the city: the bars along 30th Avenue, Broadway, and Ditmars are mostly independent, mostly neighborhood-owned, and the bottom half of this list holds prices that Manhattan lost a decade ago. The Bohemian beer garden anchors the summer, and a long run of Irish and Greek bar-and-grills anchors the rest of the year. Happy hour is dense here — a large share of the bars we track publish one — and the shape is a conventional weekday four-to-seven, with a few opening at three and a couple carrying the window into the weekend.
28 priced bars tracked · lowest listed price $4.00 · middle listed price $6.00 · 13 with published happy-hour details. These prices are a starting point, not identical-pour comparisons: a listing may be a can, bottle, or draft. Check the note and source before traveling, especially for a time-limited special.

heart of gold
$5.00

Two non-alcoholic items (Stiller's Lemon Lime Soda and Stiller's Root Beer, both 12oz cans) are also listed at $5 but were excluded since they are not beer.

Kelly's Bar
$5.00
31-04 Crescent St, Long Island City, NY 11106, USA
No official website or menu route exists for Kelly's Bar & Grill. The cheapest confirmed regular price comes from a customer review quoted (June 2026): '$5 cans of high life and pbr'. The same page also quotes a review mentioning '$7 beers' in the context of no buybacks, which is pricier and not the cheapest option, so $5 canned domestics is used as the standing cheapest price. A 2022 dive-bar roundup mentions Kelly's (cash-only, oldest liquor license in Astoria) but contains no price or happy-hour specifics for this bar specifically, despite an earlier automated search summary incorrectly attributing a happy-hour deal to it -- direct fetch of the article confirmed no such text exists for Kelly's.

Charlie’s Pub
$6.00
29-14 23rd Ave, Astoria, NY 11105, USA

Honey Fitz
$6.00
30-09 Broadway Ground Floor, Astoria, NY 11106, USA
Cheapest regularly-available beer is $6, shared by three canned/bottled options: Bud Light, PBR Tall Boy, and Highlife, per the official Summer 2026 drink menu PDF (Bottles/Cans section). Draft beers start higher, at $7 for House Light or House Dark. Happy Hour (Mon-Fri 4PM-7PM, per the official Happy Hour menu image) takes a flat $2 off these same bottles/cans and select drafts (House Light, House Dark, Stella, Peroni), so the cheapest happy-hour beer is $4, derived from the $6 regular price for Bud Light minus the posted $2 discount (the menu states '$2 OFF', not a fixed happy-hour price).
