The 2026 edition names 13 bars in New York City, and 11 of them are in Manhattan. On September 25, 2026 we opened each one&#8217;s own website to see what a guest can know before walking in.<\/p>\n<p>The short version is that most of them keep the price of a drink to themselves. We are not on that list, and our own room, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/cocktail-bar-in-the-west-village\/\">the cocktail bar at The Beer Garage in the West Village<\/a>, is a sports bar with a garden, not an award-winner.

Of the eleven Manhattan bars on that list, four print cocktail prices on their own sites: Employees Only ($18 to $24), Superbueno ($18.50 to $22.50), Double Chicken Please ($19 to $22) and Clemente Bar ($23 to $29 on a sample menu).

A bar counts as publishing prices only if its own site shows a price next to its cocktails. Where a site said nothing, we wrote that instead of using review sites.<\/p>\n<p>Walks were measured in Google Maps walking mode from 118 Christopher Street the same day.

Bar Snack (No. 3) and Schmuck (No. 4) in the East Village are the next Manhattan entries.<\/p>\n<h3>How much is a cocktail at Manhattan&#8217;s top bars?<\/h3>\n<p>Of the eleven Manhattan bars on the 2026 list, four print prices on their own sites: Employees Only charges $18 to $24, Superbueno $18.50 to $22.50, Double Chicken Please $19 to $22 and Clemente Bar $23 to $29 on its sample menu. The other seven do not publish cocktail prices.<\/p>\n<h3>Which top Manhattan cocktail bars take walk-ins?<\/h3>\n<p>Bar Snack and Angel&#8217;s Share say they are walk-in only. Double Chicken Please keeps over 70 per cent of its seats for walk-ins, Attaboy seats most guests first come, first served, and Clemente Bar and Overstory both welcome walk-ins when there is room.<\/p>\n<h3>Which cocktail bars are near The Beer Garage in the West Village?<\/h3>\n<p>Three bars from the 2026 list are close to 118 Christopher Street: Employees Only at 510 Hudson Street is 348 feet away, Angel&#8217;s Share at 45 Grove Street is three minutes and Sip &amp; Guzzle at 29 Cornelia Street is six minutes on foot.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Overstory have a minimum spend?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Overstory&#8217;s site says every reservation carries a $100 per person food and beverage minimum. Walk-ins of up to six guests are welcome when there is room.<\/p>\n<h3>How much are cocktails at The Beer Garage in the West Village?<\/h3>\n<p>Our seven signature cocktails are $15, classics are $14 or $15, a Long Island Iced Tea is $18, spritzes are $13 and non-alcoholic drinks are $10, all from our online ordering menu read September 25, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verdict\">The verdict<\/h2>\n<p>For the best cocktail bar in Manhattan by the 2026 ranking, go to Sip &amp; Guzzle, six minutes from us, and budget for a bill you will not see in advance. If knowing the price matters, Employees Only, Superbueno, Double Chicken Please and Clemente Bar all print theirs. And if you want a $15 cocktail with a game on or under the garden heaters, you are already at the right address.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources and references<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theworlds50best.com\/stories\/News\/north-americas-50-best-bars-2026-the-list.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">North America&#8217;s 50 Best Bars 2026: the list revealed<\/a>, 50 Best.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sipandguzzlenyc.com\/menus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Sip &amp; Guzzle menus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barsnacknyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Bar Snack<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superbuenonyc.com\/menu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Superbueno menu<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clementebar.com\/bar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Clemente Bar lounge<\/a>, read September 25, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.martinys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Martiny&#8217;s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angelssharenyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Angel&#8217;s Share<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstory-nyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Overstory<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/doublechickenplease.com\/pages\/visitus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Double Chicken Please<\/a>, read September 25, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/attaboy.us\/visit-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Attaboy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.employeesonlynyc.com\/menus\/cocktails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Employees Only cocktails<\/a>, read September 25, 2026.<\/li>\n<li>The Beer Garage West Village online ordering menu and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/\">beergarageny.com<\/a> hours, read September 25, 2026.<\/li>\n<li>Google Maps walking mode, from 118 Christopher Street to each bar, measured September 25, 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tbg-authorbox\">\n<img class=\"tbg-avatar tbg-avatar-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/marina-charny-owner-the-beer-garage.webp\" alt=\"Marina Charny, owner of The Beer Garage\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-fit:cover;padding:0\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marina Charny<\/strong><br \/><span class=\"tbg-meta\">Owner, The Beer Garage (Park Slope and West Village)<\/span><br \/>This guide was written for anyone who wants a great cocktail and would like to know the price first.
