Rusty Knot
On the very edge of the city, this nautical-themed dive bar is a secluded escape from the buzz of it all. As envisioned by the Spotted Pig's Ken Friedman, their $3 cans of beer or 2-for-1 well cocktails every Tuesday can be enjoyed with their unconventional kitchen offerings. Many prominent nightlife players may seem out of place, but this is truly a neighborhood secret.
