Conrad Greiner-BechertMay 9, 2017Legendary 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.
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 KleinsmanOctober 19, 2015Nice 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!
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
Stefan B.August 27, 2014Rudy'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!
dawn.in.newyorkJuly 29, 2015One 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 HealyJune 28, 2013Where 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.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014This 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
amNewYorkNovember 7, 2012Cheap 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 GrondonaNovember 27, 2014Everything, 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 bornemannJuly 13, 2018Best dive bar in nyc by a mile. Free hot dogs and a giant pig. What more do you want.
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Get 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 PareilMay 23, 2015My favorite part is the outdoors roof at night! Overall a cool it, relaxed beer for cheap and free hotdogs with pitchers.
Brandon McGrawNovember 27, 2012A 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
Cash only- but it is one of the cheapest bars around! Great jukebox selection! Free hot dogs!
Peter BernsteinDecember 27, 2019Fun lively place with awesome beer prices!!!! Didn't get a chance to try to hot dogs but I'll be back for sure!
NY WaterwayAugust 7, 2012Quintessential 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.- KenDecember 22, 2015Shot and beer for $5, with free hot dogs! Can't find prices like that in most places in Hell's Kitchen
Andrew CMarch 22, 2017Cash 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.October 24, 2015Great 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.
Great beer prices. A pitcher of Rudy's Blonde is $8. And you get free hot dogs.
Manuel Alejandro BautistaDecember 2, 2016A great place to drink!!! And the drinks are very very cheap. I love this place!!!!
Stina P.April 15, 2016awesome dive bar in midtown with a mixture of down to earth people. free hot dog with every drink purchase.
This bar rules. No glitz or glamour, just good tunes and great times. Grab a pint of blonde, some dogs, and settle in.
Martin JonassonMay 8, 2016Great dive bar and atmosphere. You can be yourself here for a while. Try their own beer and enjoy the cheap prices.
Mark Neurohr-PierpaoliDecember 30, 2015Try the Free Hot Dogs - Free hot dogs at Rudy's Bar & Grill in Hell's Kitchen #NYC (via @Foodspotting)
Gr8 and cheap place in the heart of Hell Kitchen. Ruby's Blond pitchers at $7 dollars and FREE Hot Dogs!!! You have to check it out! Can't miss it, a BIG PIG is on the door :)
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 😊
Sarah RobertsMarch 21, 2015My friend and I got 2 shots, 2 beers, and 2 hot dogs for $10. Great spot for a night out with little cash.- Louis PieperAugust 24, 2014This place rocks ! Cheep beer , good crowd and its in NYC ! You cant go wrong here !
Trae FSeptember 26, 2015A real life dive bar. The drinks are cheap. So is the alcohol they use in them so be prepared for a killer hangover.
Twitchhiker: Tales from the Edge of AmericaAugust 3, 2011One 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 HabitatNovember 15, 2011Ah, 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.
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 FerryDecember 6, 2013Been 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 KauffmanSeptember 28, 2017The iconic jukebox is gone but those free hot dogs remain. Classic Hell's Kitchen dive.
Mariama RentoyAugust 16, 2014Free hotdogs for drinks. This place gets busy because of the affordable beers. 😆
Jacob CorbettSeptember 5, 2016You've got to coming before noon. Game show channel with volume and the average age is 69. Totally different bar than at night.
Mike & Anne HoneyTrek.comJune 24, 2011Hands down the best bar in NYC. Great location, $7 pitchers 24/7, Free Hot Dogs with every pitcher (give a $3 tip on the pitcher for 2 dogs). Outdoor seating till 11pm. Read more
David PapikowskiJanuary 17, 2015Check in on Foursquare and show it to barkeeper. You will get a free hot dog with every beer you order.
CollegeCandyDecember 1, 2011Possibly 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!
Stephen PetreyJune 4, 2023Free hot dog with any drink. Make sure to check out the back area if there’s no seating
