Great place to watch a match

by NYCMUFC

Have been here a few times to watch my team play. Always a good crowd and always a good time. Also nice selection on tap. Worth a visit on a Saturday morning.

Upstairs and Downstairs

by eat_club

Once you get past the strict-but-not-rude doorman, you have a choice between going to the more sports-bar oriented upstairs or the wilder, (especially on Thursdays), downstairs bar. On Thursdays, COUCH SURFING (couchsurfing-DOT-com) hosts its get-togethers. You'll meet plenty of people from parts of the world you never heard of! It's a great mix, and everyone is friendly, including the bartender. The only problem is that the music is a bit to loud to converse over... especially if English isn't your first language. Oh yeah, THERE'S NO FOOD! --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers

• Pros: friendly staff, friendly customers
• Cons: music too loud,

Soccer game mecca

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor

A happening sports bar in East Village that plays soccer games! Hence, there are usually a lot of Europeans and South American Patrons. Came here on one week night before and it was really chill and drinks here are cheap. What is even better is that I saw Daniel Craig here!

Came by again with friends on a Saturday night and it was totally different. There was live DJ spinning and it was happening. Drinks remain reasonably priced. I just like the energy here.

Other than soccer games, they also play other sports games as well.

• Pros: Cheap Drinks and fun vibe

Good bar, horrible bouncer

by jap1022

Bar is good however the fat bald surly bouncer that works on Saturday nights has an attitude problem.

This past Saturday, I walked in w/o anyone asking me for ID, no one was at the door. I was meeting a friend there so I wasn't talking to anybody and was by myself watching TV at the bar in the interim. A few minutes later after I ordered my first drink this fat surly bald man asked me for my id and I was told to step away from the bar and go back near the front door to show him my ID. Kind of weird but here look I'm born in 1975 do what you need to do.

My friends show up all is OK, after about an hour we decide to leave, on the way out the bald fat surly bouncer stands between me and the front door preventing me from leaving. I said excuse me,what's the problem, he was preventing me from leaving accusing me of trying to avoid him when I walked in an hour ago, being extremely confrontational and ready for a fight.

According to the fat bald surly bouncer I avoided him on the way in the bar so I didn't have to show my ID, which is ridiculous as I am 34 years old and not an NYU student.

My common sense took precedent but I still called bullshit on what he was saying, he just got angrier and angrier, he was ready for an altercation. I told him I'm leaving I'm not getting in a fight with a bouncer that can't do his job of watching the door.

A bouncer picking a fight with the customers is totally unacceptable. End of story., thank you.

• Pros: TV's
• Cons: Bouncer

my favorite bar in the world! yup!

by igas

Simply the best place in the entire WORLD to watch English football (soccer). Come early to make sure you get in. I've never gone to this bar past 5pm but I've easily gone 50 times as early as 8am! Crowds chanting for their favorite teams as they have their eye openers. This is what football is all about. The beer selection is good but that's not why you go there. The bartender is a great guy and will comp you a beer here and there if you become a regular. forget finding a seat, you stand and cheer for your team. The guy at the door might be a bit grumpy but i guess he knows that getting in is worth it. If you're not an english football fan there's no point in going, but if you are it's heaven! It's the place 'where football is religion'!

• Pros: football. atmosphere. atmosphere. atmosphere.
• Cons: no seats... ever... (which is somewhat of a pro)
