The 15 Best Sports Bars in NYC for Watching the Big Game

NYC is as much a sports town as it is anything else. We have more baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and hockey teams to cheer on than anywhere else in the country. And we’re also a city of transplants, meaning fandom is fractured beyond even our city’s disparate Yankees and Mets, so arguments with fellow New Yorkers over whose favorite team reigns supreme is nothing new.

With the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics happening right now and Super Bowl Sunday around the corner, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite sports bars to watch the games at. From outdoor spots to NYC stalwarts that have witnessed more emotions than a junior high school cafeteria, these are the NYC sports bars to try when you really want your team to win.
