50 Best Sports Bars in New York

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

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“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!“

“We went there for a union get together. It was nice.“

“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!“

“What’s not to love!

Best sports bar un the (very large) area.

The service: amazing. Everyone makes sure that you are having a good time.

The food. We had the chicken fajitas, so good. Perfect chicken. Perfectly cooked veggies. Warm tortillas.

The staff: knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, always happy. They are a family and they make you part of it.

The ambience: cool, energetic, sports crowd and college student mix. I was here on a Thursday night, don’t know about the day or weekend.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“One of my fav bars in the neighborhood EVER! Crowd and staff are sweeties, the space is gorgeous (big but still friendly), the women’s sports are on point, the drinks and nosh are lovely, ugh it’s the best. I made all my bud meet up there to watch the Olympics and it was a DREAM! Plenty of space to sit together, but not weird and empty, Lauren and Sasha were so helpful and thoughtful getting the tvs set up with the event we requested, and so attentive throughout the night even though it was busy. Was so excited to introduce my friends to this sick spot. Everyone go, book a party, bring all your friends, have a great time!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great bar food coupled with attentive staff works.“

“Really good pub, with an incredible american atmosphere
The guys are really nice from the security guy that welcomes you in to the guys of the service
I went here with my family on holiday randomly and we were really happy of our chose.“

“A must visit for out of town Michigan football fans to take in the game. Get there early on game day it’s wall to wall & you’ll feel like you’re in Ann Arbor!! Accommodating management & awesome staff!!“

“Great food and drink here at the mercury bar would highly recommend when in nyc great friendly staff and owner really nice lady ..went in 3 times with family even got a free birthday cake for the wife“

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

“We have been using Hair of the Dog for about 4years now and is really impressed by the quality of work they do on our dog. Very convenient to every family needs. 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.“

“Lovely, lovely landlord a pleasure to chat too and fantastic staff just wish we could have had time to return. If you’re looking for great food and drink this is a must visit. When we were there a couple from Ireland came in after just getting married. Hope you’re able to get over for some more games next season.“

“Fantastic spot with so much character. Owner is a charming generous gentleman. Staff are caring, helpful, and responsive. Great place to spend time with a lot of characters in our beautiful community.

Just got a new pinball table in - Nascar. So much fun to play and affordable. 3 games for 2 dollars. Also it awards free games for high scores and for matching the winning numbers with your score when you finish a game. You'll hear a loud knock sound from the back of the machine. It's a good thing! It means you won a free game! Great for playing alone, or for competing against each other for high scores!“

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

“Best and only Bar In NYC 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻“

“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!“

“#AmazingBar #Dive75NYC 🥰“

“The help was very friendly. Service was great! The food was all good!“

“Best place for Sports and the Comfy Comedy Show. Glenn is great. Fish (the bartender) is great, too. Can't go wrong by stopping in at the Hairy Lemon.“

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

“Nice place. Definitely will be back“

“this place was an absolute 5/5!!! the atmosphere had such a social and intimate aesthetic witch was perfect for our dinner!! i ordered the “pan seared wild salmon” and it was delicious! our server was keith and he was very helpful and efficient! we will definitely be back. we had such a great time!!! Not to mention it’s perfect location!! we will %100 be back.“

“I visited for lunch.

The food was very good … had the “Irish Spice Bag” … creative dish with chicken, hand-cut French fries, peppers and onions, and spices … something different ($20).

The service was very good as well … very nice and kind bartender taking care of the whole place … so need to be reasonably patient.

The atmosphere is nice enough. Nice vibe.

Overall, a reasonably good value.“

“I was there in 2013 with only about 18 months of sobriety but a real hunger for the program. It was a profound experience to be in a room where so many alcoholics had shared their recovery. The history and traditions make up a big part of my program, and I look forward to my next visit there.“

“Friendly staff…..but when the place is busy you’re going to wait“

“The bartenders are the highlight here. I have never had a bad experience coming here. The music isnt for me but I dont think it has to be for me it works with the vibes of the place. I enjoy the big pretzel there. The wings and the chicken tenders are all pretty good, but the pretzel with the cheese sauce is my thing here. Great spot for after work vibes for sure.“

“Great food Great drinks Good fun Getcha some!“

“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!“

“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“
