Rudy's Bar & Grill

Rudy's bar opened in 1933. When you walk through it the feel of the old neighborhood saloon is still there with cheap beer, free hot dogs, and great people

Legendary staple of New York Hell's Kitchen bar life. Beer prices like rural Pennsylvania, pickle back shots and free hot dogs . What a shame I don't drink. They have O'Doul's though, all is good.

Simon Kratzer

A pitcher (red) for 10$ and free hot dogs . Welcome to heaven!

Apocalyptic Mar

Honestly this is one of the best bars in NYC ! A very nice and mixed crowd. Cheap drinks and an awesome awesome atmosphere! I always meet such wonderful people when I come here. I absolutely love it!

Hans Kleinsman

Nice selection of beers (craft, pitchers , draft , bottles), jukebox in the back, walled garden , hot dogs for the needy. One of the very last authentic if not THE last) dive bar in Hell's Kitchen!

Elisa

Free hot dogs and incredible drink specials . The crowd is lovely - there to chill , drink, good music and perhaps make some new friend. going there abut 15+ yrs ago and it's still as great as it was

Rudy's is great! 3$ homemade beer (try the red one) and with every beer u get a free hotdog ! Perfect bar to chat with ppl have a few beer and eat hotdogs for an unbeatable price!!! U gotta stop by!

One pitcher comes with free hotdogs is no doubtably a great deal. Their own rudy's draught beer is flavorful despite of the cheap price, and hotdog is just as good as its simplicity. Come weeknights.

Patrick Healy

Where can you beat $8 pitchers and free hot dogs ? Nowhere, that's where. This place is a NYC institution. Get in, drink up, and enjoy the no frills, no pretense atmosphere. This place rocks.

Matthew Tully

Best deal in the city ... Plus this guy is usually here.

Village Voice

This historic dive has been around since 1933 and recently started offering free Hebrew National hot dogs with each beer ($2.50 for the Rudy's Blonde house beer , $7 for a pitcher ) Read more

amNewYork

Cheap drinks , a heavy pour and a classic jukebox make this the undisputed best dive in the city . The duct-taped red booths are as well-loved as the $7-pitchers and unlimited free hot dogs .

Manuel Grondona

Everything, cheap beer , free hot dogs , cool peeps, what else do you need? Unfortunately I didn't know about this place until my last day

eric bornemann

Best dive bar in nyc by a mile. Free hot dogs and a giant pig . What more do you want.

AFAR Media

Get yourself a pitcher of their red beer (also inexpensive ) & enjoy free, unlimited, hot dogs with your choice of topping as long as you keep drinking. Read more

Sans Pareil

My favorite part is the outdoors roof at night! Overall a cool it, relaxed beer for cheap and free hotdogs with pitchers .

Brandon McGraw

A notorious Hell's Kitchen dive Rudy's opened back in 1933, purchased by a former Merchant Marine. It's been a destination for some of wackier celebrities, like Anthony Bourdain . - From Eater NY

Alex Robertson

$3 pints, $8 pitchers , $5 beer and shot, free hot dog with every beer

Racheal Roberts

Cash only- but it is one of the cheapest bars around! Great jukebox selection! Free hot dogs !

Peter Bernstein

Fun lively place with awesome beer prices!!!! Didn't get a chance to try to hot dogs but I'll be back for sure!

NY Waterway

Quintessential dive bar , complete with giant pig statue out front, booths that are more duct tape than cushion, incredibly cheap pitchers of beer , and a 7/11 style hot dog cooker making free hot dogs .

Ken

Shot and beer for $5, with free hot dogs ! Can't find prices like that in most places in Hell's Kitchen

Andrew C

Cash only , but since drinks are super cheap - it works out!!! The crowd is much older and booth seats are horrible... the bartender said their house brew is just budweiser !!?! FREE HOT DOGS TOO!!!

Keepitmoving T.

Great spot on Friday and seems everyone is polite and hungry free hotdogs unfortunate this does not have a wing or nacho addition even salted peanuts .

Nancy Lafontant-Whiting

Great beer prices. A pitcher of Rudy's Blonde is $8. And you get free hot dogs .

Manuel Alejandro Bautista

A great place to drink!!! And the drinks are very very cheap . I love this place!!!!

Ibrahim Saban

It is always crowded . Therefore, you can have hard time to find a table or a seat but it is still good place to have beer and free hot dogs ????

Stina P.

awesome dive bar in midtown with a mixture of down to earth people. free hot dog with every drink purchase.

Charlie Stoebe

This bar rules. No glitz or glamour, just good tunes and great times. Grab a pint of blonde, some dogs, and settle in.

A real life dive bar . The drinks are cheap . So is the alcohol they use in them so be prepared for a killer hangover.

Guillermo Vidal

Excellent beer , great hotdogs , nice time

Twitchhiker: Tales from the Edge of America

One of the cheapest bars on the island , it's not really fair to called Rudy's a dive. Friendly crowd , dirt cheap drinks , free hotdogs , good jukebox . Good local bar , but visitor friendly .

New York Habitat

Ah, Rudy's. A hole in the wall bar serving up cheap beer with a divey but lovable atmosphere. 7 bucks for a pitcher and free hot dog with it? Perfect.

Gwen Korbel

Free hot dogs , all the time (except St Pat's Day -- too crowded ), and some of the cheapest drinks in town . If you're drinking beer , get Rudy's blonde by the pitcher

John Ferry

Been here twice. Great music playing and a good crowd of all walks of life. None of your fancy stuff. Get in and get drunk

Michael Kauffman

The iconic jukebox is gone but those free hot dogs remain. Classic Hell's Kitchen dive.

Mariama Rentoy

Free hotdogs for drinks. This place gets busy because of the affordable beers . ????

You've got to coming before noon. Game show channel with volume and the average age is 69. Totally different bar than at night.

David Papikowski

Check in on Foursquare and show it to barkeeper. You will get a free hot dog with every beer you order.

Petr J.

Super nice owner, great atmosphere and cheap beer .

CollegeCandy

Possibly the cheapest pint in Manhattan (starting at $2.75!). And, free hot dogs all day every day! Not as sketchy as it sounds! They're made fresh whenever you order!
