In The Big Apple and need a spot to catch the game? Check out the Top 10 Sports Bars in NYC:
This West Village hangout, established in 1950, bills itself as the best place to watch a Packers game
outside of Lambeau Field. If a bar full of Cheeseheads and complementary cheese and sausage
sounds like your thing, Kettle of Fish is where you want to be on game day. At other times, the vibe
is more like that of a low-key neighborhood bar. Attractions include the usual darts and videogames
as well as a collection of board games.
Finnerty's brings the Bay Area to the East Village and is the perfect place to watch the Giants or the
Forty-Niners. If you make arrangements in advance, the in-house keg service lets you enjoy mass
quantities of your favorite brew from the bar's wide selection, making it especially attractive for big
parties.
Located in Alphabet City, Horseshoe Bar (sometimes also referred to as 7B or Vazac's) features a
long U-shaped bar centered around a huge tower of drinks that you might recognize from
its appearance in various movies, including The Godfather Part II. The music tends toward metal
or hard rock, and the place is rarely crowded, even on weekends.
Right across the street from Heritage Field, Stan's is the perfect spot for Yankees fans to
gather before or after a game. Unsurprisingly, this place can get pretty packed on game days.
The owners also operate the nearby memorabilia shop Stan's Sports World, so this is a must-visit
bar for any die-hard fan.
Unlike some of the other bars on this list, Gleason's, located in Astoria, doesn't specialize in catering
to fans from one particular place, instead promising "a Little Something Good for Everyone." So if
you want a place to watch a game without being surrounded by a mob of die-hards, Gleason's, with
its many TVs and plenty of space, might be the place you're looking for.
This Prospect Heights soccer bar has won a loyal following from its regular patrons, not only
for catering to an oft-neglected sport, but also for its décor, its selection of international beers,
and its menu, which features a variety of organic and locally grown options--it's particularly proud of
its macaroni and cheese, which is offered at a special price on Monday nights. Woodwork offers a
change of pace from the usual dive atmosphere of your typical sports bar.
As the name implies, this Park Slope bar is a shrine to all things Californian, founded by a pair of
graduates from Berkeley. It offers sixteen craft beers, most of them coming out of the West Coast
and not too easy to find elsewhere in New York. This is a great spot for any Californian sports fan
looking for a home away from home to relax or watch a game.
Named after "the first celebrity bartender in America," Professor Thom's in the East Village features
a 41-foot bar, 17 LCD TVs and a projector screen. This unique and quirky bar also offers a range of
exotic beers house cleaning company from Europe to enjoy in the wooden booths or big leather
couches. The "Nachos De Tomas" are amazing and the most notable item on the varied menu. This
multi-floor bar is especially popular with fans of the University of Michigan Wolverines.
This bar takes as its motto "Any game, any time," and with 40 HDTVs, including one massive 80"
screen, all connected to just about every sports package available, they have the capability to deliver

2. on that promise. Manny's, located in the Upper East Side, also features free iPhone charging
stations, and when there's no game on to keep your interest, you can challenge your friends to a
game of Call of Duty or Madden Football on the Xbox.
Standings in the East Village takes its name from its big chalkboard listing current team standings.
But as sports-focused as this place is (its walls are plastered with the memorabilia of just about
every team imaginable, and there is no music to be heard here--just the audio of the game), it also
hews to the principle that "catching a game doesn't mean you have to drink crap beer." Standings
offers 12 craft brews on tap and 25 more by the bottle, making this little place an ideal destination
for those who are both sports fans and beer snobs.
