Chelsea sports aficionados should cheer for this expansive gaming den, featuring a sea of TVs broadcasting baseball, football, basketball--basically, any event featuring a ball. The handsome, 6,000-square-foot lounge is rustic and refined, with wood-plank walls, Gothic chandeliers and leather banquettes filled with bros pounding PBR cans and pints of Bass and Bud. (Beer is also available in 100-ounce tubes.) For discriminating palates, there are eight wines (about $8 a glass) and cocktails like the Pine, made with Wild Turkey Honey, mint, soda and lemon.
