Rudy’s Bar & Grill:
Sure, this area is all cleaned up and family-friendly these days, but Rudy’s still reeks of days past. A giant pig statue standing under a red neon sign greets you at the door, kind of an indication of what you will find inside. Grimy tables paired with half-moon-shaped red and ripped vinyl banquettes and barstools are shoved into a too-small place that is constantly crowded. That’s probably due to the dirt-cheap drinks (Miller Lite pitchers are $5, and the house brews, Rudy’s Red and Rudy’s Gold, are $3 a pint), free hot dogs, and blues/rock jukebox selections. Head to the back garden for some salvation from the standing-room-only weekend edition. Word of advice, don’t even try to get a barstool—regulars are of the marathon-drinking variety.
Best dive bar in NYC...fantastic jukebox, free dogs & cheap beer! What more could you ask for? No matter how many times I go to NYC I always go back to Rudy's...!!

Rudy's is the best bar in Manhattan. Cheap beer. Great jukebox. What a dive bar is supposed to be.
