50 Best Sports Bars near Elmhurst

“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.“

“Came in to get a quick bite. The omcheese burger is amazing must get. Our waitress Jeysmari was the best! Friendly and knowledgeable. The manager Mr .Williams very nice made my friends birthday special. Will be returning for the great service and food!“

“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“

“Good place to trash money. $6 beer+tip.Wanna talt to a girl? $20 +tip (her drink). Wanna dance?$20 for dancing. $5 small water. You can sit at the bar and spend as little money as you can, sometimes i do.But just dont get drunk! I've seen people being thrown out.“

“Frank Oley behind the bar is amazing! I attended a party at Rivercrest and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun thanks in large part to Frank's delicious drinks and very cool, personable nature. He's clearly a seasoned pro and I highly recommend stopping in to see him and going to Rivercrest in general. Frank elevated the experience greatly and I'll surely be returning!“

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

“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!“

“Not only were the pours generous and the service attentive, the regulars in for the Steelers vs. Ravens game were delightful. I wanted to take a second to shout out the bartender Zoe for going the extra mile. Will be back when next in town.“

“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!!!“

“Where do I start? The food was on point. The tacos have a hearty feel to them. They dont fall apart and the flavor melts in your mouth. The appetizers are all good. They all pair well with the drink selections. Signature drinks are well curated and thoughtful. The ambiance is bring a friend, a date, some friends and come have a good time. Hospitality is top notch and professional always. I would definitely be back for another night on the town. Thank my cousin for suggesting this place. Cantina 138 needs to be put on the map!

“Every experience beginning with the soft opening, has been absolutely satisfying. Staff is, from the moment you walk in, welcoming, courteous, and accommodating. They are pleasant and friendly. Food, drinks and presentation are stellar. My colleagues and I have frequented often because the atmosphere is festive and relaxed, simultaneously. Awesome after work spot, lunch specials are delicious.“

“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.“

“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 cannot give this restaurant enough stars! Carmine is AMAZING amd so is his food, staff, and atmosphere! I would choose this place over and over again to eat and celebrate whether im by myself orhaving a party of 25 people with me. Impeccable food, wine, pizza, pasta, service....all of it! Thank you for making our 10 year wedding anniversary party a night to never forget!!!!!“

“I thought it was weird that we were getting crap service for the first time ever… but when Kian told us that he’s just waiting to quit & move back to Ireland in February, it made sense. Good luck giving crap service elsewhere, Kian!“

“This is the best place. The service is always great and they treat us like family. The manager Rob is always checking in and making sure we are good. I will recommend this place to everyone I know. Ceny was the best and Attentive. She was very personable. Definitely going back.“

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

“Brilliant friendly staff great atmosphere for the footy UTFT COYB“

“Great vibes Asia and Fabiana“

“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!“

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

“Love this bar!!! Bartenders are always very attentive, food is phenomenal ( especially for a sports bar) Loved truffle flatbread and shrimp scampi. This is definitely the place to get a few Aperol Spritz and frozen Pina Coladas. PRO TIP ask a bartender for some board games , they have so many!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“excellent service the place and the amenity is very nice and the food is exquisite!“

“Stumbled upon Paddy’s by total chance yesterday and loved every minute of it. There’s something really special about this place! Will 100% be coming back on our next visit. 😃“

“Great food and drinks. Old school vibe nothing like this sports bar around. Definitely highly recommend.“

“Tonight in Brooklyn, we did BHI Thursdays and let me tell you, this place gets it.

We showed up at 11pm and they greeted us with a smile and a seat.

We started strong (because that’s how you should always start): short rib dirty fries and pastrami egg rolls. Not appetizers… opening statements. Bold, indulgent, and deeply comforting in the best way.

For mains, we went all in:
the smash burger (simple, honest, executed perfectly),
the pulled short rib sandwich (rich, soulful, slow-cooked love),
and jasmine rice with baby chicken, clean, flavorful, and quietly confident.

Everything hit. No fillers. No regrets.

But here’s the real secret sauce: the vibe. Warm, accommodating, relaxed, and alive. The kind of place where you want to linger, talk, laugh, and order “just one more thing.”

And then there’s Andy. If Andy serves you, consider yourself blessed. Attentive without hovering, warm without trying too hard, and genuinely invested in your experience. Service like that doesn’t just feed you, it hosts you.

Bottom line: BHI Thursdays isn’t just a great kosher spot. It’s a place that understands that food is about connection, atmosphere, and feeling taken care of.

Highly recommend.
Come hungry. Leave happy.
And if Andy’s at your table… say thank you.“

“Hudson Blue Bar was amazing! The sushi was delicious and it was a great spot to catch up with some friends with drinks. Even now in the winter, the views are great and overall a really good place to go. Will be back for sure!“

“This place is awesome for drinks and food and needs the people of the neighborhood to help support this cool spot ✅❤️🙏😎“

“Delicious drinks , friendly atmosphere, extremely attentive staff, bathrooms spotless. Music allows for various variety which is most important in this type of establishment. Outdoor patio decor is very impressive. Bar Rescue has nothing on this establishment! Thank you for a wonderful evening 🍷“

“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!!!“

“I celebrated my birthday there and I had a great freaking time! The staff was attentive. The prefix menu was chefs kiss!!! The margaritas did what needed to be done. I loved the shrimp tacos, the avocado and tostones and the calamari! The DJ made sure I had an amazing time. The hookah was sooo good and only 25$“

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

“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!“
