Avast, ye landlubbers craving seafaring festivities, look no farther than this nautical hangout across the street from the Hudson River. The Rusty Knot--which features a fish tank, scuffed wooden booths, a pool table and oodles of oceanic kitsch--comes courtesy of tastemakers from Freemans and the Spotted Pig, so expect a posh crowd, despite its shabby-chic theme. Rum-fueled tiki drinks share menu space with three-buck Busch drafts, wine poured from a box and upscale edibles devised by Momofuku vet Joaquin Baca. – – Hits: In a setting Captain Ahab would adore, The Knot offers…

Great Pick Up Spot!
by acemace
Yowser....
Aside from having unique, festive and delicious drinks, an awesome and attractive staff, and great food, The Rusty Knot attracts every single person from the greater metropolitan area! Every time I go there I meet someone new... and everybody that goes there is down to have a great time.
The atmosphere is relaxed, none of that NYC pretentiousness that so many bars have.
With no loud, pounding music its easy to talk to people; especially after a pickle back shot or a flaming scorpion bowl!
A great alternative to nightclubs; and much easier on the wallet!
- Pros: Fun, relaxed atmosphere, attractive and friendly clientele
- Cons: as far west as you can get, but worth the trek!

Great drinks!
by petals23
Great place close to the water!! They have a happy hour as well. The neighborhood is building up in Chelsea. They are very relaxed atmosphere and there is a nautical feel to the decor. A lot of hipsters thought! It may put you off if your not down with the scene. noone bothers you when you nurse a drink.

by LocalLady13
I have been here twice now. It's an okay place but last night was the SECOND time I closed my bill, Signed my receipt, and Left, Only to discover the next day that they over-charged me over $40 DOLLARS! I'm starring at my copy of the receipt. It's right So how why is my bank account charged $64?
Sketchy Sketchy...beware!
- Pros: Cheap Happy Hour
- Cons: They are devious and dis honest and the food is gross
The Details on The Rusty Knot
Food Served:
Nosh on elevated bar grub like pretzel-bread-wrapped hot dogs ($4), peel-and-eat shrimp ($12) and Coca-Cola ribs ($19).
Know Before You Go:
The Knot's cool-kid lineage, combined with the petite space and lack of reservations, mean weekend wait-times can sometimes stretch into the hours. Come early or don't come at all.
Save Money:
Penny-pinching drinkers should focus their miserly ways on the 99-cent "old man": A teensy glass of Busch beer.
