119 E. 15th St. · Union Square/ Flatiron

Cheap beers, dim lights, beat up sofas, wood paneling, and a pool table - this could almost be a frat basement, except it's the kind of bar where frat boys get kidney punched.

-

No license found in 2026
Spending some time pregaming at the Emerald Pub before you hit the nearby clubs may convince you to abandon your plans and make a whole night of it here.
-
130 W. 3rd St. · Greenwich Village
Still pouring
A comfortable low key bar on an off night metamorphoses into the 10th circle of B&T hell as the weekend approaches, but where else can you find Judas, Brutus, and Cassius all out for a few pints and a bit of skirt.
-
108 3rd Ave. · NoHo
Moved to 18 W. 33rd St.

Loud and raucous, the student crowd here's the same as the other big frat bars on this block, but at least Jake's has a backroom that's free of TVs, so you can try and score digits without the sickly plasma palor.

Closed; now Carragher's at the Irish American
A bar for stock clerks not stock brokers.
-
11 Waverly Place · Greenwich Village
Still pouring
Not just a student bar. Josie Wood's is the NYU student bar. It's basement environs might as well be annexed considering the amount of financial aid dollars spent here. And while anyone over 23 will feel like a dinosaur, for the kids with shiny new fake ids this is the place to head after class on a Thursday.
-
425 Amsterdam Ave. · Upper West Side
Closed; now The Wolfe
An Upper West Side staple for over fifty years, this laid back Irish pub attracts a diverse neighborhood and student crowd from brunch to closing time.

New York's best bar to pick up a cop. Just across the street from police HQ and well behind the security barrier. You'd need to head to the ocean to find more blue.

With cheap beer, wings, sliders, beer pong, and all the big games is it any surprise that Off the Wagon is the frat bar du jour for NYU backwards baseball cap set.

AKA Duke's Bar. $3 daily happy hour specials 4-8pm.
-
225 E. 44th St. · Midtown East
Still pouring
As one of the few dive bars in an area ruthlessly homogenized by after work crowds this benign bar almost feels edgey in comparison. You can get a bucket of 5 Sam Adams for $15 and pount of wings for $10 and there are 22 TVs to catch the game on.
-

This friendly Irish pub is an oais on the Upper East Side. It's just far enough away from 2nd Avenue to maintain a neighborhood vibe. The service is efficient and personable. And they've got a basketball machine.

480 Amsterdam Ave. · Upper West Side

-
538 9th Ave. · Chelsea
Closed; now Blue Ruin
The much loved Bellevue Bar has gone the way of the dodo, but its replacement has the same cheap beer, many of the same regulars, and of course the same prime location next to the Port Authority. With a winning combo like that Why Not is hoping its name will be its calling card to the Greyhound traveling legions.

Bedford Ave & Oceanside · Manhattan Beach
Still pouring
Within the gated community of Breezy Point there's little to no public parking and no public transportation, so getting to this beach bar can be more than tricky. However, if you're black, hispanic, Italian or jewish it might just be worthwhile to have a friend drop you off. The residents of this 98% white (by the latest census) neighborhood don't often get a chance to experience the wonderful blending and mingling of cultures that so many other New Yorker's take for granted and they would surely appreciate the chance.
-
477 5th Ave · South Slope
Closed; now Skylark Bar
There are dives and then there are dives where you can smell the history soaked into the stains on the floor. This blue collar bar is one of the latter. Since 1969 Timboo's has been serving beer to neighborhood residents, although it's not exactly the type of place you'd want to hang out soaking in the history.
