50 Best Sports Bars near Elmhurst

“Wow, I am flabbergasted. Came here on a cold snowy night just to grab a quick drink and get on the train. fortunately the vibes and atmosphere that “tala” created were memorable so I said forget that train and stayed. The jukebox has music you can select, the drinks are strong yet perfectly crafted. Never expected this from a hole in the wall dive bar. Thank you paddy’s thank you “tala” for introducing me to darts I never played before but they have it going on here !!! I can’t wait to be back !!!“

“boomer was the sweetest waiter ever whenever i needed something he was right there,he made us feel very welcome and talked to us like a friend.He fixed any problems we had and didn’t have any problem with it he was such a good waiter“

“I actually quite enjoyed this place. My and my 4 friends came upon here just out of curiosity. At first I felt we had stumbled into the beginning of a horror movie seeing as the entrance was looking rather sketchy. The place itself resided on the entire 2nd floor of what I believe to be a housing complex. It had looked pretty run down and seedy like most other places that haven’t begun to gentrify like the rest of the neighborhoods but once inside you get a whole cool vibe of the place. It’s Nepali owned so you would see a lot of Asians pulling up to the spot and playing all sorts of billiards games. My favorite part of this place is that they offer a relatively low price for 2 sets of pool games: Regular and European. European is a bit different with a set of colors orange and pink while the regular follows a numbered system of stripes and solids from 1-15. The price is $5 per person per hour and obviously you have to pay a fee and taxes after the whole bill but believe it or not our bill for playing 1 hour for 5 of us only came out to $28 total! I enjoyed this place quite a bit because it just seemed so chill and relaxing. They don’t allow cigarettes, e cigs or any kind of smoking and no drinks are allowed anywhere on the tables so they managed to keep it clean and smooth. The rest of the place is massive and I believe there are about 10-15 tables available for grabs. This place can get quite packed on the weekends and even more so on the holidays and other special occasions. We were lucky to have the whole place pretty empty so it made the experience quite enjoyable.“

“Excellent place, very quiet, there is not much noise and that is what I like, the volume of the music allows the client to have a conversation with friends and enjoy the pool players, all the players are very well organized and respectful above all and among all. The service cannot be less, Sol and Angy are very attentive, excellent service, I dare say it is a personalized service. 100% recommended.“

“buen ambiente y buena comida“

“I visited El Gato Verde Sport Bar and had a really good experience overall. The atmosphere was lively, energetic, and perfect for hanging out with friends. The music, crowd, and vibe made the night feel fun and exciting from the moment we walked in.

The staff were friendly and the service was decent even when it was busy. The place has a strong nightlife feel, and it’s a good spot if you want to dance, relax, or just enjoy drinks in a social environment.

I didn’t expect it to be that entertaining, but it turned out to be a fun night out. The vibe really stands out compared to other bars in the area. Overall, a solid place to enjoy the night in NYC“

“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!“

Rivercrest is always a fun time. If you're a sports fan, they have plenty of TVs inside so you can enjoy the game.“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“The band, The Gyst were fantastic. They are a professional band, sound great, and I drove 3 hours to hear them play. The place and people loved them, I would suggest having them play at your establishment more often. The food was also phenomenal.“

“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!“

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

“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,“

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

“Came in before a funeral because we were early and needed somewhere to sit for a bit, and ended up finding one of those places that completely changes the tone of your day in the best way possible. Danny took incredible care of us from the moment we walked in- service was genuinely warm, the vibe was perfect, and it somehow became a bright spot on a really heavy day.

We loved it so much that we came back after the service for food and drinks, and it was even better the second time around. At one point, Danny even convinced the famous Target Santa to come by and meet us, which gave our group the exact comedic relief we needed.

Excellent hospitality, great energy, and a team that clearly knows how to make people feel welcome. 5 stars without question.

P.S. Don’t miss the breakfast burrito, life changing…“

“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.“

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

“Great service! Amazing food! Simply feels like home!!!!!“

“Hidden gem. More like a neighborhood bar than one of the touristy Time Square traps. Great, attentive, friendly bar staff. California Burger is a knockout. Good fish and chips. Good range of non-alcoholic drinks. Head here to get away from the maddening crowds.“

“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.“

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

“Top tier! My friend and I were searching online for a Mexican restaurant and decided to give this place a try. We arrived just as the kitchen was about to close, but they still welcomed us and served our food. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious, I even went back for seconds lol. My friend ordered the loaded nachos and she loved them too. The drinks was on point, It was our first time there, and the entire experience was amazing. Definitely looking forward to coming back!🌮✨😊“

The atmosphere was the best part of the experience! Karlos brought all the vibes with great music, karaoke, and even a free shot while celebrating Puerto Rican culture. The food was good, but the service was a little slow—especially the mimosas, which took a while to come out and were brought one at a time. Overall, a fun spot with great energy!“

“Not sure what an “elevated sports bar” meant before I came here, but this definitely fits the bill! Themed drinks, a wide array of games on the tv, with a classy interior make for a good time. My only negative is the music is a smidge loud. Would absolutely come back though. Xoxo, grandma.“

“1st time here.... I'm from NYC(Brooklyn) and was visiting after 30 years away....
Believe u me.... its a must go spot for ANYONE.... Gotta come by say hello and enjoy w/e you want.... Trust the fact that u will tell a friend.
From management to the all the employees. They all make u feel like you're at home. Specially Micky the Mgr. Kathryn bartender, Martin the waiter. Awesome people, gr8 times.“

“love this place. it's my new spot.“

“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 $.“

“carbonara Sicilian slice 🔥“

“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!“

“Rafe is awesome. What a lovely guy, put up with me and my partner for longer than he should have had to. Made the last day of our first holiday to New York great xx“

“The best bar in a nasik city good service“

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

“The first thing that hits you is the space itself. The layout of the inside bar is positioned perfectly to flood the entire room with gorgeous, natural light. It gives the whole venue a warm, vibrant glow that makes it genuinely impossible not to smile the second you take a seat. It completely redefines the typical neighborhood bar aesthetic, trading the usual dark, moody pub feel for something bright, open, and incredibly uplifting.
What truly sets Wilka’s apart is its heartbeat: it is a women’s sports only bar. This focus creates an absolute powerhouse of a crowd. There is a beautiful, shared camaraderie in the room—everyone is united by a love for the game and a passion for supporting women’s sports. The energy during a match is electric, inclusive, and fiercely supportive. It’s exactly the kind of intentional space the city needed, and the community response proves just how special it is.
A bar can have great lighting, but it’s the people who give it a soul. The bartending team here is phenomenal—packed with genuine kindness, infectious excitement, and a refreshing eagerness to make you feel welcome.
A massive shoutout to Alyssa, who is an absolute standout behind the pine. Beyond making a stellar drink, she is a huge Panic! At The Disco fan. Striking up a conversation with her about music makes for some of the most fun, engaging, and memorable banter you’ll find anywhere on the Lower East Side.
Wilka’s isn’t just a place to grab a drink; it’s a community hub with a massive heart. Whether you are a die-hard sports fan or just want to surround yourself with great people in a beautiful space, please visit this place! You’ll come for the unique concept, but you’ll stay for the warmth, the laughs, and the unforgettable atmosphere.“

Always willing to help you with your concerns and always give us the best advice when we ask. We use Carolina who is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her and the company for your pets needs.“
