5 Bars for Cheap Drinks in Manhattan NYC

Listen Later

Finding cheap drinks in NYC, amidst the swath of $18 Gin & Tonics, is vital for any traveler or local.

These spots not only have cheap beers and specials but also plenty of fun vibes to go around.


  1. McSorley's ($8 for 2 beers, works out to be about 1.5 normal-sized beers, located in the East Village)
  2. Rudy's ($3 house drafts and free hot dogs in Hell's Kitchen)
  3. Jake's Dilemma (at any time, you can get a $5 Miller Light or Seltzer. Specials every day. Most of the time, you can get any draft beer for $5. Gin Mill, 3 Sheets, Hair of the Dog, Down the Hatch, and Stumble Inn are "sister" bars to Jake's Dilemma.)
  4. Clockwork Bar ($6 beer and shot combo, $7 well drinks, authentic dive bar in Chinatown area with plenty of graffiti and stickers)
  5. Jimmy's Corner (drinks as cheap as $3, boxing memorabilia, dive bar in Times Square)

    6. This Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out - Amor Y Amargo

    While not cheap ($18 cocktails), you get a unique, well-crafted, thoughtful cocktail. All the drinks here include Amaros and, in most instances, unique bitters.

    The decor and bar itself are beautiful. We loved all the drinks we tried here, and you will, too!

    Plus, they have dozens of unique bitters for purchase.
