Security guards have such nasty attitudes. You can’t even ask them a simple question without them getting angry. If you don’t like your job, quit.
Drinks are way overpriced.
The place itself is nice though. Two large floors, clean bathrooms. If they lowered drink prices and hired some better staff, this place could get 5 stars.

We visited the stadium on tour (no match on) Bartender was on her phone, ignored us even though there were only 2 other tables in the bar. An uncourteous and uncomfortable experience.

Cool spot
Great spot to catch a game! Tons of TVs so no matter where you sit you’ll have a good view. The wings were crispy and flavorful,bbq are my personal favorite and the beer selection is solid with both local brews and the classics. Staff was friendly and attentive and the bartenders are 🔥! The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming—perfect for game day. Definitely my go-to sports bar.

I visited Billy’s Sports Bar on 9/11/25 after attending the Yankees game.
The line was long but manageable, and my friends and I got in without issue. After having a beer, I stepped outside to get some air. When I tried to return, the bouncer refused to let me back in and simply pointed me to the back of the line without explanation. When my friends (who also had open tabs) came out to help me back in, he refused them entry as well.
I questioned the logic of this policy and asked the bouncer why he was acting this way. Shockingly, he responded by punching me in the jaw twice in front of other patrons and staff. I’ve since pressed charges against this individual.
What makes this worse is that I’ve tried reaching out to Billy’s directly to resolve the matter, but they have ignored every attempt at communication. Rather than acknowledging and addressing the serious misconduct of their employee, they’ve chosen silence.
I used to be a huge fan of this place, but after this experience, I can’t support an establishment that allows violence from its staff and refuses to take responsibility.

Hottest spot after a Yankee game. Wait will be about 20 minutes to get in. It will feel like a day club after a Yankee game. Good vibes and music.

A lot of room.
Horrible experience. Worst pizza i have ever had in my life. Drinks were not very good. We saw a bartender marrying bottles right in front of us which is illegal in every state. It was game day which might be why they had no bar stools, not sure..I would never go back here. The pic is their version of a Margherita pizza. I'd rather have a frozen totinos pizza or a hot pocket. Or even a peanut butter sandwich.

Billy's Sports Bar was a great venue to check out before the Yankees, and seemingly just in general. They have a huge downstairs, they sell beers all around the premises, they have an awesome upstairs and outdoor area... and it's super popular! It took no time to get in and the staff were very friendly! Would definitely go back!

This isn’t a review of the food, but the absolutely fantastic people who work at this place. I unfortunately came down with heat stroke while on the way to Yankee Stadium. I practically ran into this place to lie down and the staff were beyond welcoming, caring and generally wonderful. I was so embarrassed but they let me stay as long as I needed, giving me cups of water and bags of ice. I still felt a bit unwell upon leaving and so I didn’t say a proper thank you, hence my review. Thank you so so so much.
