The bartender Earl was extremely rude right from the get go. I asked for two seltzer waters and he looked at me like I took his lunch money. After about 5 minutes the seltzers came and he asked me the name for the tab. When i said I didnt have a tab, he demanded a card and went ahead to charge me $6. He left the bartop a mess and had an awful demeanor even after the couple we were with ordered two cocktails. On the bright side, the security guard Chief was very personable and made me feel welcomed. I would only go back to this bar to talk basketball with Chief on the OUTSIDE.

Great pub to watch Football (Soccer). Great pourers of Guinness and always host a friendly crowd.
Bonnie Davis
Great late night dinner and drinks. Fun atmosphere and crew.
Ashish Guragain
Extremely rude staff, they need to learn manners.

Tried to kindly complain to the manager tonight and before I could even get a word out he came in hot! Incredibly disgusting to speak to someone like that. Especially as an adult man… I would expect better. Will NEVER be coming back.

As a diehard BARCA fan, this bar is just for you. I experienced the semifinal loss to INTER here and let me tell you it was one of the most depressing but amazing experiences I’ve ever had.

Top Sportsbar in NYC, good beers on tap

Cozy place to watch European games, vibes were great. Only downside is the food arrived after an hour.

We understand not being let in due to capacity — that’s fair. But giving a 5-minute notice right at 15 minutes of the game , while a huge line of fans stood outside already late to the match, is just poor management. No effort to inform or help — it felt careless. That’s not how you treat fellow Barça fans.
Awful service from the English barman who was a complete liar.

Just merchants. They do not like sport. I saw all the scene with the guy at the door aggresively accusing a girl of being pushed by her (c'mon, she was calm and 1 mt distant). Moreover, they covered the windows to preventing the queue to watch the match while waiting to enter and buy drinks and food. Disgusting approach to fans

I emailed to get a table for a Champions League game. They answered back promptly and a table was saved. The staff were extremely nice and attentive despite how busy it was. I highly recommend this place!

As a Nottingham Forest fan living in NYC, how I’ve only discovered this bar is beyond me.
Decent selection of European draft beers and food, ordered the bacon sarnie (kudos on calling it that btw), I also kept seeing pretzels the size of a small car being served which was impressive in its own right, so even if you don’t like sports but like massive knots of dough this is a sight to behold in its own right.
Atmosphere wasn’t obnoxious and plays all the important football matches with a scheduled and well organized setup, TV’s are labelled with what game they’re playing and they have a calendar on their website with what games they’re showing in advance. Although they should be more active with their instagram but hey?
So congratulations Smithfield Hall, you’ve successfully managed to drag me from the depths of Brooklyn all the way into the city to what football. I look forward to coming here more often.
Rude old guy with glasses
