Cheap beer in Crown Heights
Crown Heights drinks along Franklin and Nostrand, where old family-run bar-and-grills sit a few blocks from newer cocktail and natural-wine rooms, and the price range on this page stretches accordingly. The bars are neighborhood-scaled and the list is shorter than the area's size suggests, which is a coverage gap rather than a lack of bars. Happy hour is barely documented here — only a couple of these listings publish a window — so this is a neighborhood where the note on each card, rather than a neighborhood-wide pattern, is what to read.
8 priced bars tracked · lowest listed price $4.00 · middle listed price $5.00 · 2 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.
