Message From Rodeo Bar
Longest running honky-tonk in New York
  • No Cover Ever!
  • Live Music Nightly
  • Real Texas BBQ
Owned by Mitch Pollak since 1994, Rodeo Bar's kitchen is open until 2:00am every night. Enjoy "excellent chicken fried steak, fajitas, and other Southwestern favorites, which you can eat while listening to good country music." (New Yorker) "At Rodeo Bar, which bills itself as the 'longest running honky-tonk in New York City,' it's possible to hear live country music seven nights a week without paying a cover. The place is going strong after 17 years." "Sure, the music at Rodeo Bar is a roots enthusiast's dream, featuring local and national honky-tonk, alt-country, bluegrass and rockabilly acts every night of the week. Yes, the Tex-Mex decor is fetching. The bar, built into a converted horse trailer, serves Lone Star and Negra Modelo in bottles, and copious amounts of peanuts . But the seven flavors of lethal margaritas are the best reason to go." (TONY)

Editorial Review for Rodeo Bar
The urban cowboy's roadhouse of choice for Tex-Mex barbecue and free live music.

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 lineup. As well as torch-and-twangers like the foot-tapping Jimmy Nations Combo, audiences get an audio uplift from the swing band the Flying Neutrinos and the blues-rockabilly act the Mercy Brothers. The full menu of enchiladas, barbecue ribs and steak pushes pub grub in a decidedly Western direction.

Insider 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.

Save Money
Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 4pm through 8pm.

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.
