Blue & Gold Tavern

Simply put, this is the best bar in the East Village ; maybe all of Manhattan . But it's a bar bar . Don't come here for martini olives , come here for low key vibes. And pool table .

Best dive bar in the neighborhood . Always lively with regulars and first timers mingling and taking advantage of the cheap drinks .

Ice is limited and mixers come from a back room, but the $5 beer-and-shot combo can’t be beat for birthdays, celebrations or just the usual TGIF. And the jukebox is loaded with Hendrix.

This is where all the local bartenders go after work. Cheapest whiskey selection you can find.

This is a classic hole-in-the-wall joint—cheap booze, a pool table , and a good jukebox . Cults come here for low-key late-night drinking. “It’s convenient and never really too crowded ."

Maybe the cheapest drinks in all of Manhattan . An east village dive gem.

Cheapest mid-level scotch and whiskeys you'll find anywhere

One of the cheapest bars in Manhattan. Get a $5 glass of Laphroiag and enjoy. Cash only .

Small dive bar with great people and bartenders .

Maybe the cheapest dive in Manhattan. Friendly people, pool table , never too crowded or too loud

The best spot.

Really dive-y atmosphere, which you either love or you hate. Either way, it's hard to argue with Macallan for $4 a pour.

Super dive. Good selection of beers on tap , but they taste terrible, probably thanks to dirty lines . Stick to bottles or the cheap top shelf whiskeys !
