Pop and fizzle—ah…the sound of an aluminum tab breaking is music to our ears. Some people call it trailer park, but we call it home—beer in a can never tasted as good as when served at one of these spots.
Lodge

Williamsburg 718.486.9400
This hipster haven is adorned with antler-chandeliers to lend to its theme of mountainous-esque, open-air lodge, but it’s also canned beer heaven. Six allumi-nated brands are behind the bar including Miller Sharps, a non-alcoholic brew for your preggers/rehabing friends. Hey, someone has to pick you up when you’re too drunk to stay on those tree stump seats.

Slutty women dancing on a stage and dollar bills seem to go hand in hand. At this binge-drinking, country-rock spot though, throw two George Washingtons the bartender’s way and, while a lap dance is out of the question, a 16oz. PBR Tall Boy is in your near future.
Trailer Park Lounge
271 W. 23rd St. (7th & 8th Aves.)
Chelsea 212.463.8000
You know what you’re getting with a bar called
Trailer Park Lounge, but thankfully these folks threw in a surprise: a bathtub full of $3 PBRs. Blessed be! Let's just hope a tornado doesn't strike.

This rock ’n roll spot has been cool to booze at for years. Maybe it’s the Natural Light cans they sell. Or maybe it’s the large U-shaped bar which is surrounded by TVs, pinball machines, and a vintage photo booth. We love it all, but we really love those 24oz. Natty Lights for $6.
Moonshine
317 Columbia St. (Woodhull & Hamilton Sts.)
Red Hook 718.422.0563
There’s nothing like cracking a cold one after a long journey. How about four cold ones in a bucket? Make the trek to
Moonshine, enjoy four canned ones (of 15 to choose from) in an ice bucket special or, if you’re a speed racer, join the James Gang (a shot of Jameson and a PBR) in this rustic neighborhood joint.
