What People Are Saying About Rodeo Bar

Featured Review

The Scene – Happily distressed best describes the look of this inner-city honky-tonk. Weathered plank paneling, wagon wheel chandeliers and giant rusted signs assert the backwoods, despite the view of Third Avenue through contiguous, tinted glass windows. The three-story main room houses the primary bar, an informal restaurant and an upper level for drinkers and diners. In the second space, find a small stage for performances and another drink station constructed from a refurbished horse trailer. – – The Draw – Country may be king, but you'll find a diverse music…

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
Head to the back of the second floor, where you'll find a lounge area with a handful of couches.
What to Drink:
Play the part. Order a bottle of Lone Star. You're unlikely to find the brand at many other bars in town.
When to Go:
You can hear free, no cover live music every night of the week, but you can get $3 drafts only on Mondays during football season.
Save Money:
Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 4pm through 8pm.

Best real joint in Manhattan

by wonderland45 at Citysearch

I have tried most of the dishes on their menu and I have never been disappointed. My faves are the shrimp soft tacos and the steak and portobello salad. And the kitchen is open until 2 AM! Way better than a greasy slice for the munchies. I love Rodeo let's hope they will be there a loong time. And we all gotta support the free live music.

Awesome BBQ

by SarahSimpson at Citysearch

Rodeo Bar has a great atmosphere and amazing barbecue! This place looks really cool on the inside and the BBQ is super good.

I just usually get a BBQ sandwich and a soda or some kind of alcohol. I go with friends occasionally and it is always a good time.

We have a lot of fun at this place!

LOVE RODEO BAR

by lenoxkane at Citysearch

I LOVE rodeo bar. it is one of the best bars in manhattan. part dive bar, part southern honky-tonk, part after work hang out, this place has it ALL. seriously. AND $6 margaritas from 4-9pm?? absurdly amazing. it is the least pretentious bar with such a diverse group of people, totally relaxed and just so fun. i try to come as often as i can because i am tired of how expensive and pretentious most bars are in manhattan. i love rodeo bar!!!!!!! also, free live music every night, just saw joe taino last night and he was so amazing, i am going to come back for all of his shows at rodeo

no rodeo music

by golfhutch at Citysearch

I work in NYC and love BBQ and country music. Rodeo Bar has great BBQ but the music is pure NY villege crap until the live music at 9pm. I asked the waiter if they played country music before 9pm and he said they just play piped-in stuff that he had no control over. Rodeo's piped-in music before 9pm is chosen to please their employees, not their patrons. It doesn't make since to decorate the place like a country & western place and then play only that villege crap.

  • Pros: great brisket
  • Cons: no country music till 9pm
