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.“

“We had the best time on Saturday 09/26/26 celebrating my sister's 40th birthday! We called in advance and asked if our party of 6 ladies could sit in the largest corner booth. The manager kindly said yes:) We brought our own decorations, a few balloons, favors, cake and silver mini glitter cowboy party hats. The staff was very patient while it took us a few minutes to set up the table. Thankfully it wasn't too busy at 1pm in the afternoon.
*Thanks to our wonderful server Steve for making our time there a memorable one!!! He is such a friendly, personable and fun server, it was a pleasure to see. He went above & beyond, checked on us often and always made sure we had everything we needed. He even wore one of our mini hats the whole time LOL, and took a group selfie with us:). Definitely the best server we've had in our 20 years of going there. And then a large staff of servers and managers came out to sing Happy Birthday to my sister, which she really enjoyed! Our experience on that day was awesome and I hope to come back again to celebrate another event soon.“

“absolutely recommend ❤ Reichenbach Hall“

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

“I came to Buddy’s on my very first day in New York and was immediately impressed! The service was exceptional, and the bartenders made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. I’ve come back every single week since!

A special shoutout to Brian - he is so kind, welcoming, and always has the best energy. I recommend Buddy’s to anyone visiting New York. It’s a great sports bar with high-quality food, great drinks, and even better music. I’ll be coming back forever!“

“Great place to take out all of your aggression. Great prices for food and drinks“

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

“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!“

“My buddy and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and were very pleasantly surprised with our experience. We thought we’d watch a little football while sitting at the bar, ya know, nothing special…well, first of all, Miw, the young lady behind the bar, was as nice as could be. The burgers that we ordered or excellent, and even the salad that came with the burger was great! We met Britney the owner and she also a pleasure to speak with! If you haven’t been here, you need to go check it out!“

“Great space to have a fundraiser and birthday party. Staff and owner are so wonderful and helpful. Great prices for cocktails and beers/drinks“

“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!“

“ok so i finally had my stuffed burger fix! i had a basic custom burger with cheddar cheese in the middle. fries on the side. i cut it in half cuz thats what i usually do. all the cheese comes pouring out with the juice! yummmmmm! i asked for well done and it was. i got the fried zucchini sticks too and they were awesome!

the ONLY complaint i have is the bun gets super soggy because of the mess it makes. bathroom wasn't bad. it was super packed around 4. so be aware.“

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

“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 - 🤣🤣🤣)“

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

“My mom and I had a light dinner here that was easy and really good. Mickey did a nice job as our server and the food was quite good. Super easy access if you're staying next door at the Omni Berkshire and worth crossing the street for:)“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“Amazing place, great atmosphere. Food was delicious and the cocktails were lethal. Thank you to the staff, we made some brilliant memories!“

“5 STAR 🌟 service yesterday food & Drinks outstanding my waitress was awesome. Beautiful place beautiful atmosphere.“

“What’s to Share. Claire and Nikki and Cahir are rockstars. Foods is good, service is the best I’ve seen next to me pouring rockstars to those who want to drink. If only you could See my shoulders wiggle and rock right now, you’d get it If you don’t go get you don’t know how to live.“

“Great food and drink, great music and a nice atmosphere. Loved watching the sports (NYC just won the basketball)!“

“Ab excellent place, really good drinks, great prices and very clean. I will absolutely visit it again during my stay in NY. The wings were delicious, so tender and juicy and the Jack Daniels Bbq wooow!

The service was perfect, all the attentive to our requests and needs.“

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

“I LOVE THE FOOD AND THE BARTENDERS VERY NICE PLACE TO EAT“

“Jimmy's Corner is a must stop every time we're in NYC! The bar tenders are the best part of this place. We can't wait to go back!“

“The bar is perfect for NFL games! The crowd is fun. The owner is attentive and can be see at the bar. The atmosphere is lively. The food took a little time but it was very good. I will def be back! Thank you Justin for such a fun night 💃 🏈“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“Their seafood and 32oz drinks are great!!! I recommend stopping by.“

“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 $.“

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

“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.“

“I have very fond memories here, it was like a little home from home for me while I was bi Atlantic for 6 years, working on the same block as the Pig There are lots of “Irish pubs” in the vicinity, although this is the only one that felt like a real pub in the UK rather than a novelty in New York Hopefully I will be back again one day! Thanks for great times when I was missing home 🇬🇧 xxx“

“The Wolfe was a great stop near the American Museum of Natural History. The happy hour special is a great deal. Our food came out fast, which helps when you have a hungry kid waiting. David, our server, was friendly and attentive. My son loved the sliders and finished them all. Go before or after the museum. We will be back. The tables have high stools but there is a booth on the other side of the table.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent place to drink and eat“

“Great place for sporting events. Seems to specialize more in soccer versus baseball etc. But they will put on whatever you want.

They play music not the actual game unless (I guess) you're there for a special game--like the World cup finals.

The bar service is excellent and friendly.

The beers are reasonably priced and they have one of the better selections in Manhattan. There is also substantial food menu.“

“Excellent food and service. Wednesday night trivia is awesome. Great place.“

“Love the vibe of this place but the only downside was, though food is advertised, when we ordered, it didn't come for over an hour and we ended up leaving to get something somewhere else. They don' have an on-site kitchen. The bar staff was great though so if youre going for drinks, you'll have a great time!“

“Love this spot! 😊 The atmosphere is super chill, friendly, and definitely a grown-up, no-drama vibe, which I love.

Every DJ I’ve experienced here has been amazing. I’m a 90s-era baby lol, so I definitely appreciate good music, and they always have a great mix—very versatile with something for everybody.

The food is really good and flavorful, and the drinks are amazing! They definitely don’t get greedy with the alcohol 😂 You’re getting a GOOD drink!

And I have to shout out Emma! ❤ She’s such a great bartender—super friendly while still being professional, and she makes really good drinks.

Good vibes, good music, good food, and good drinks. I definitely recommend this place! 😊“

“There’s something about Kelly’s that just feels right. I gravitate towards it as a place to enjoy a couple drinks at the bar and I always have a pleasant experience. Bartenders have always been friendly and attentive. At my last visit had the fish tacos and they were incredible. Great value as they were huge and loaded with the good stuff“

“Shannonigans is a nice, fun, laid-back, and really chill Irish bar! It's definitely a good bit calmer than most Irish bars I've been to, but I don't really mean that in a bad way. It's a great place to stop in after work, or if you're perhaps not looking for anything too rowdy. I really liked their wide-open floor plan, which made it a great place to throw darts, and host a large group of people. They also have a great outdoor patio area, and a nice-enough TV setup. The two (2) bartenders I interacted with were both really sweet, and did a great job of creating a welcoming environment.

All-in-all, Shannonigans isn't the wildest Irish bar that you'll find in the city, but it's a great place to stop in and unwind, chill with friends, and throw some darts. As such, would recommend!“

“I absolutely loved this place! As a Geordie, I thought this would be a good place to watch the qarabag match and I was shocked at how amazing it is! The atmosphere, the decoration. Just everything was incredible! I would totally recommend to visit if you are a football fan especially a Newcastle United fan.“

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

“Great friendly atmosphere! Friendly staff, reasonably priced beverages! Great food!“

“Perfect stop before the game. Great music, great atmosphere. Our server was fantastic!“
