The Rusty Knot
Nautical Hipster "Dive" Bar
Recommended by...
EmilyJ on 30 Mar 09
The Rusty Knot opened last year, promised as the city's latest 'dive bar' - however, with The Spotted Pig's Ken Friedman at the helm, it was going to be anything but. Sure, it serves pretzel dogs and Busch beer, but don't go expecting beer pong-playing frat boys. More like pool-playing affluent West Villagers, with the odd Olsen or Dunst thrown in for good measure. Order a Rusty Knot, a bastardised mojito that comes in a temptingly stealable Tiki cup, and blast some Elton John on the jukebox.

















A nautical hipster hangout
The Rusty Knot opened last year, promised as the city's latest 'dive bar' - however, with pool-playing affluent West Villagers and the odd Olsen or Dunst thrown in, it is far from dive. Raise a glass of ‘Rusty Knot’ (a bastardised mojito) or enjoy an Uncle Sam Special 25¢ Busch beer, it would be rude not to.
