Where to Watch the Game in New York

  1. 1 3 Star Rating: Average Wildwood Barbeque
    Read Reviews

    225 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10003 (map)

    At this down-home barbecue joint, buckets of beer complement the tailgate special (a rotating, game time-appropriate appetizer such as chili cheese fries). Chow down and booze while watching the game on one of four big screens.

  2. 2 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended The Village Pourhouse

    64 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10003 (map)

    Mingling is as vital as the score at this sports bar and lounge on NYU’s doorstep. Call ahead for details on nightly sports-related deals. And for the less athletically inclined, the Pourhouse also offers regular trivia nights and other events.

  3. 3 4 Star Rating: Recommended Stout NYC
    Read Reviews

    133 W 33rd St, New York, NY 10001 (map)

    Thirty-two TV screens ensure you'll find your game airing at this friendly giant of a pub in midtown. If that doesn't tempt you, Stout's extensive international beer selection should.

  4. 4 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended SideBar
    Read Reviews

    118 E 15th St, New York, NY 10003 (map)

    With a slew of HD flat-screens, this Union Square spot is ideal for game-watching. But if you don't feel like spectating with strangers, rally your friends and reserve the tasting room, which features four HD screens just for you and your gang of up to 50 people.

  5. 5 3.5 Star Rating: Average Firefly
    Read Reviews

    54 Spring St, New York, NY 10012 (map)

    A sports bar is a rare find in Soho, and this one does game-centric right. Almost every inch of wall space is covered with screens, and the menu offers apps like wings, burgers and pulled pork sliders, in addition to a vast selection of beers and specialty drinks.

  6. 6 2 Star Rating: Below Average Warren 77
    Read Reviews

    77 Warren St, New York, NY 10007 (map)

    U-shaped booths facing large flat-screens are perfect for parties of six to watch the game and grub on comfort food like mac 'n' cheese. If certain decor elements such as the porcelain water fountain throw you off, look to the sports paraphernalia scattered about to remind yourself that this is in fact a sports bar--albeit a trendy one in Tribeca.

  7. 7 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Pacific Standard
    Read Reviews

    82 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 (map)

    West Coast ex-pats and East Coast beer connoisseurs unite over microbrews at this laid-back Fourth Avenue pub. In addition to a large projection screen, Pacific Standard also serves up a nice selection of hard-to-find pints along with a descriptive menu that lists each beer's ABV (alcohol by volume) percentage.

  8. 8 4 Star Rating: Recommended Bounce
    Read Reviews

    1403 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10021 (map)

    Its downtown sister, Bounce Deuce, may have closed, but the Upper East Side original features lots of plasmas, greasy food and plenty of drinks. Hot, attentive waitresses sweeten the deal.
