50 Best Sports Bars near Hackensack

“Stopped by for the 2nd time after enjoying my first time stopping in for a quick bite. Nice vibe, the bartender was a doll. Second time wasn’t so great at first, felt uncomfortable with this bartenders energy and wanted to just pay for my drink and leave. On a whim decided to mention it to the manager and he was an absolute angel (hence his name lol). Really seemed sincere in addressing my concerns and I left feeling much better. Will definitely be back, it’s a dope spot with a nice selection of food and drinks.“

“We were there Thursday. I spoke to Cruz numerous times to make sure everything was set for us. The snack bar was not open like we were told it would be. The woman who finally came in to open said she had no idea of the agreement we had with anyone, but assured us everything would be ready to go in about 20 minutes. True to her word everything was ready to go. Her and the young man helping her did an incredible job. Both of them saved face, otherwise this would be a really bad review. Seems there's a lack of communication between managers. Do better.“

“Baitlyn was my server, and I honestly had a wonderful time being served by her, she has a fantastic sense of humor that I don’t think many people have. If you see this, if you have her as your server, you will have a wonderful time“

“absolutely recommend ❤ Reichenbach Hall“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“Great food y great drink and great service by Lucy I definitely recommend this place“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“Was in Printers Alley this weekend with my parents for the first time staying in a hotel nearby and found this place really nice and chill with good food, loads of TVs for games with a big NFL game on while we were in - We sat at the bar as a lot of the tables were reserved but Thomas was so nice and took great care of us while checking in regularly with us to make sure we were okay while also giving my parents a laugh and recommendations on what to do around the city. Can't fault this bar at all and will definitely be back next time in NYC!“

“The Stumble in is one of my go to spots when I'm in the neighborhood. Good selection of beers on tap, fantastic burgers and onion rings, been slinging tasty wings since it was Moe's way back in the day and attentive bartenders. If you're in the neighborhood and don't know where to go, give them a try. You won't be disappointed,“

“Great location; close to Metro North. Quality Food, Service and Friendly Staff😀“

“Had a wonderful evening with my aunt. The service, food and drinks was excellent.“

“My first time to a professional baseball game and only second time to New York! I'm glad it was Game 1 of the ALDS. We flew in Saturday morning from Wilmington, NC and back out Sunday evening! Not only was the energy out of this world, but Lisa, had more control of the bar patrons in both fairness and communication in her delivery of adult beverages! Thanks for a memorable experience and I hope to revisit in the near future! (invitations are gladly accepted - 🤣🤣🤣)“

“I went there with friends. All the staff are very friendly and always with a big smile. Affordable prices for drinks and appetizers. We did have a great time.“

“Chill sports bar with good food and drinks. Came here with no reservation to watch the Knick’s playoff game, and was able to be seated right away. Plenty of TVs to watch from. The patty melt, Caesar salad, and onion rings were good. The West Side Story drink kind of tastes like cherry medicine. The Pornstar Martini was very yummy. Service was quick initially but became slow as the restaurant filled up. The bathrooms were out of soap and toilet paper early on in the night.“

“The Throwback is hands down the best sports bar on the Upper West Side, and honestly, one of the best hangs in all of NYC.

From the moment you walk in, you feel it, this place has a soul. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and genuinely fun. It is the kind of spot where you sink into your seat and never want to leave. The menu is solid, the drink selection is great (cocktails, beers, you name it), and the staff is in a league of their own. They don't just serve you, they make you feel like you've been invited into their home.

For sports fans, The Throwback is an absolute paradise. TVs everywhere, great sightlines no matter where you sit, and an energy that makes every game feel like an event. And the memorabilia? It's INCREDIBLE. The walls alone will stop you in your tracks.

A huge shoutout to Brit and Alex, who pour their hearts into this place and have built something truly special for the neighborhood. Whether you are coming in for a casual night out, a big game, or planning a private party, The Throwback delivers every single time. Do yourself a favor — go. You won't regret it. 🏆🍹“

“Emphasis on the friendly bartenders ;) Come check out Music Tuesdays @Blondies starting 1/16!“

“construction guy here. I’ve been working in the city for 30 years and have bought lunch every work day, in all the burroughs. I can honestly say…You can’t get a better cheesesteak anywhere else!!!“

“Sehr gute Tische, aber keine brauchbaren Schläger. Tischmiete sehr teuer (bis zu 59 $ die Stunde), Dienstags ab 9 pm allerdings nur 9 $.“

“Mellers is great! My friends and I came here for multiple football playoff games and other sporting events. Everyone is very nice especially the owner who is there and greeting and checking in on folks. Great neighborhood spot with good beer and food. We are back often!“

“Saturday karaoke party rocks!“

“First time here for ufc night , Service was rocky at first but became better as the night went on ! Music/Dj was very good ! Food was super good, Drinks were good a little pricy. I assume the owner/manager greeted us as we left which I appreciated . Will be coming back ! Plus you can vape in there even thought they have hookah .“

“What an awesome place. came in for the flyers/rangers game. wanted a spot with tvs, and great food and drink. Awesome music, and it's one of the more refined sports bars in the area with only a 2 min walk to Madison Square Garden. The staff was amazing and so welcoming. Will definitely be returning soon. The Assistant General manager was a babe!“

“Had an amazing time here! The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were expertly made, and the staff was friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. The music and vibe created the perfect setting for a fun night out without feeling overcrowded or rushed. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual cocktail or celebrating with friends, this place definitely delivers. I’ll absolutely be coming back and highly recommend checking it out!“

“This was our third visit to The Splendid and it continues to impress. Food is delicious, service is outstanding (thank you Jenna and Mickey), and the vibe is fun and fresh. We visit NYC several times a year and this is the only restaurant we return to regularly.“

“oh yeah! Harrisons newest hot spot“

“Great fun on a Friday of course! But killer ribs on Thursday. Music on Wednesday is always a good time! 😄“

“Ayg 25th drove up from CT to this spot because we heard their wings were excellent and we love good wings. As a foodie and blogger we will travel for good wings and great service...sadly the wings was a total let down.😕. our waitress bless her heart recommended our picks and she stated they didn't look up to par after I asked why the lemon pepper I ordered was wet and it says dry rub. literally tasted like fried dirt with lemon juice squeezed over it. my other flavor garlic teriyaki was flavorful but salty. our picks were also underwhelming. I asked if the manager could take off 10.00 as 20 wings was 30. n change and I couldn't even stomach those wings. he told the waitress no flat out, didn't offer to even remake or select another flavor.. when I asked her if I could speak with him directly bc maybe she didn't convey my disappointment well...she said he'll come over. waited 25 minutes...I watched him do everything he could like fake clean the bar fake busy start fake conversations to never come over to our table. when we just decided to leave...he had the audacity to say have a good day adding insult to injury. you would think if a combined tab is near 200.00 you would be more accommodating and hospitable. this was by far the worst city restaurant experience. no way this mediocre establishment is 5.0 stars. I will be going on every review platform to share my horrible experience and share among my fellow bloggers to avoid this establishment at all costs. Never again!“

“Great food n cocktails, excellent service n family oriented 👍“

“Excellent atmosphere for football/soccer matches while in NYC. This is a MANU bar. Visited to watch the end of one FIFA match and stayed to enjoy an England match. Felt like being in London. The football songs and cheering were absolutely electric.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Haswell Green’s. Fun drinks, great service …will absolutely be back for happy hour!“

“Great place!! Good food(especially the burgers), great selection of craft beer and super friendly staff. Would definitely go back.“

“Lovely, lovely landlord a pleasure to chat too and fantastic staff just wish we could have had time to return. If you’re looking for great food and drink this is a must visit. When we were there a couple from Ireland came in after just getting married. Hope you’re able to get over for some more games next season.“

“We stopped by on a rainy Saturday afternoon before catching a flight later that day. The bartender was friendly, the Guinness was well poured, and the music was good.
Given the quiet time of day, it was exactly the kind of relaxed bar experience we were looking for.“

“Best and only Bar In NYC 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻“

“Nice little Bar/Restaurant within walking distance from the Museum of Natural History. Outdoor seated is covered to keep diners out of the sun or rain. Tables are very small, not ideal for big parties or for families with strollers.

Drinks (The Dude) were very well made (strong!) and Downeast Cider on tap was an added bonus.

Bathrooms are small but clean and sufficient.

Double Smash burger was smaller than expected but it was very tasty as were the fries that came with it. Hot honey chicken sandwich was delicious (bigger than the burger) and the truffle fries were very flavorful.“

“The best Frozen margaritas an Buffalo wings ❤️“

“It’s very nice place to celebrate our functions“

“Alejandro at Sports Connect Lounge is hands down the best bartender and server you could ask for. From the moment you sit down, he brings great energy, fast service, and attention to every detail. Drinks are always on point, and he makes sure everyone is having a great time. Whether it’s a busy night or a chill vibe, Alejandro handles it all effortlessly. Definitely the reason I keep coming back—highly recommend asking for him!“

“A must visit for out of town Michigan football fans to take in the game. Get there early on game day it’s wall to wall & you’ll feel like you’re in Ann Arbor!! Accommodating management & awesome staff!!“
