Campy nautical decor & rum-laden tiki drinks enliven this popular saloon on the Hudson shore.
"Given its extreme West location, Rusty Knot is either where you start your night, or where you end up late. Regardless of whether you can remember your experience the next morning, chances are you had a good time. The Rusty Knot’s nautical vibes, strong drinks, and fun crowd are its main draws, but it also serves a pretzel dog that has saved our life on several occasions." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"I worked at the Friedman-owned Spotted Pig between 2006 and 2007, and at the Rusty Knot and the Breslin from 2008 to 2012." - Trish Nelson
"It’s too bad The Rusty Knot gets super busy on weekends, because it’s a pretty ideal setup for a low-key hang with your friends. Step inside, and you’ll find a few comfy chairs, a pool table, and even a jukebox. And that’s pretty much all you need from a bar. They also have snacks like pretzel dogs and a drink list with tiki things, but we’re talking about beer - so get a few bottles of something and decide who’s playing who in pool. This little nautical themed bar on the Hudson is a solid weeknight play, and, if you’re looking for a crowd, stop by on a Friday or Saturday night." - bryan kim
"Rusty Knot is listed as one of Ken Friedman's establishments. There are no specific allegations mentioned in relation to this venue." - Serena Dai
