What People Are Saying About Standings

The Editor

Katie Heffernan

Citysearch

The Scene – Standings are just what you'll get at this classic neighborhood pub--from the bar's blackboards slated with up-to-date stats and the friendly, vocal fan base that hangs out. Team pennants plaster the brick walls and dark wood carved bar; rows of dusty antique beer cans run along the ceiling like crown molding; an old model train track circuits the room. Gruff young bartenders warm up once the game starts. – – The Draw – Seven flat screens tune in to local and national matchups. Weeknights draw a small neighborhood crowd, while raffles and free snacks…

It's all true

by torry2

I agree with all the comments here. Standings is a very small, sports dive bar with a great beer selection. And the bartender (on Friday eves) is aloof/grumpy/ill-informed about the beers. But the overall experience is quite good.

  • Pros: Terrific selection
  • Cons: Beers are a bit too warm
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Awesome Bar!!

by Remdog

I went with a bunch of people and was amazed by how many TV's they had . Great place to just go and hang out and watch any sporting event. The owner Gary was really cool and they had a nice selection of beer.

  • Pros: Great Beer, Friendly Atmosphere, Lots of TVS

Sports and Beer and Lotsa Atmosphere

by Kashuba

I love this place! Ok, partly because they seem to be going in the direction of being a Cubs bar. As a lifelong Chicagoan transplanted to New York, this is great! But the beer selection and the atmosphere are huge pluses. (The beer selection regularly rotates!) And I am definitely looking forward to football season, as this seems like a nice place to hang out on a cold winter's day or night and shoot the breeze with any conversational clientele. Don't let the amount of TVs stop you from coming in. This is not an "in your face", blaring, glaring sports bar. It is a place to catch a variety of different games and meet a nice mix of friendly bartenders and patrons. The special free food nights are fantastic. And you've got Pommes Frites around the corner where you can purchase all fries all the time, with any of a number of sauces, and bring them to the bar! Don't forget to look up at the ceiling for an endless array of sports jerseys and paraphernalia and check out the train track running along the upper wall of the bar.

  • Pros: Great beer, friendly atmosphere, unique sports bar. Not like those overly commerical ones.
  • Cons: None, though some day I'd like to see the train running on the little track along the wall...
