Cheap beer in Manhattan
This page collects the Manhattan bars whose listings name the borough rather than a specific neighborhood. Because it is not geographically coherent, it works as a cross-section of the island rather than as a guide to a night out: old cash-only rooms and beer-and-shot bars at the bottom of the range, hotel and rooftop bars at the top. The happy hours are similarly mixed, though the weekday afternoon window dominates as it does across Manhattan — several of these run from early afternoon until seven.
15 priced bars tracked · lowest listed price $4.00 · middle listed price $8.00 · 10 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.
