Sports Bar entertainment in New York City

  1. A

    Gym

    This popular sports bar for men is nothing like the rowdy straight sports bars that pepper Midtown side streets. Here the decor is classy – wide-plank wooden floors, high ceilings and a long, sleek bar – the men are polite and ice-skating championships are just as popular as basketball playoffs. The downstairs Locker Room is cozy and intimate, with DJs, drinking games and low lighting.

    Standings Bar

    Why is it always the little guy that makes the biggest plays? If you have to see a game, this step-in/step-out, box-like bar has a wall of TV screens, updated season standings on chalkboards, changing micro­brews on tap, and free stuff (pizza on Friday, bagels on Sunday).

    Nevada Smith’s

    New York’s greatest soccer bar gets filled with European expats and other assorted fist-pumping adult males in sports jerseys. Some 100 matches get played a week on the wall-to-wall flat-screen TVs (just past the signed jersey of Ronaldinho). There’s beer, too.
