纽约拥有比该国其他任何城市的职业运动队更高的运动团队，这感觉像是严重缺乏出色的运动酒吧。微小的电视，关于游戏声音何时开启的非常奇怪的政策，中等的食物和无趣的调酒师都太普遍了，因此Grub出去寻找在任何给定夜晚的最佳地点来捕捉游戏的最佳地点。这意味着特定于团队的酒吧，例如鱼水壶或者the Waylon, aren’t here; nor areall-purpose dives, which are great in general; but for the purposes of this list, we only wanted bars where sports werethething.
TheAbsoluteBest
1.Standings
43 E. 7th St., nr. Second Ave.; 212-420-0671
这个酒吧会导致即使是最简洁的扬声器to wax poetic about its virtues. Sure, complaints about its — admittedly tiny — size have been registered, but they should also be dismissed. One, it’s New York; two, it’s better that way for actually seeing the television, watching the game, and chatting with your neighbors and the bartender. And, God bless Standings, because you can rely on it to have the game sound. As its business cards say: “No music. Ever.” What else wins it a No. 1 spot? Among the hundreds of memorabilia items hanging from the ceilings and stuck to the walls are paper-plate signs promoting free-pizza Friday nights; other nights you can order takeout. The bartenders are reliably sports-geeky; the beers are numerous and range from cheap easy-drinkers like Bud to craft drafts from Two Roads. The bar’s vibe is like your giant group-text sports thread. And despite being only twelve years old, Standings seems to have been there forever — when you’re watching baseball, you can close you eyes and almost feel as if you’re at one of the older stadiums (the less-than-pristine bathrooms help). In sum: It is a perfect, authentic sports bar.
2.Half Court Sports Bar
446 Park Pl., nr. Washington Ave., Prospect Heights; 347-663-3121
Call ahead, because we’ve known the bar to not keep to its stated hours exactly. But when it’s open, what a bar! What it lacks in distinctive décor, it makes up for in its unmatched community-center atmosphere. Sit down, get a drink, and the bartender will ask you on a quieter night if there’s a certain game you want on the TV. A few sips in and you’ll be on your way to making friends with everyone — playful sports banter is encouraged. P.S.: Thereis一个自动点唱机 - 距离霓虹灯屋的鱼缸几步之遥 - 但是，很高兴地，贴有一个标志说：“在现场体育赛事期间，没有玩耍的自动点唱机。”
3.Warren 77
沃伦街77号。格林威治街；212-227-8994
Bougie? Fine, but thisis翠贝卡。这是一个安顿下来并变得舒适的好地方，拥有更好的鸡尾酒和食物的好地方，您可能会在任何其他运动酒吧提供。称呼装饰周到 - 黑色簇绒皮革沙发；游戏不打开时，演讲者的爵士乐；框架Sports Illustrated覆盖游骑兵。说到曼哈顿的曲棍球队，尽管据报道，原始伙伴和前纽约游侠肖恩·艾弗里（Sean Avery）bought out, the bar and many of its patrons are still loyal to the Blueshirts.
4.Legends Bar
71-04 35th Ave., Jackson Heights; 718-899-9553
At this under-the-radar Queens pub with a small-town feel, everyone seems to already know each other, but it’s still a great place to make friends while watching the game. We’ve even had bartenders here bring out plates of gratis cheese and crackers to encourage patrons to stay. Even if the ultimate goal is to get people to buy more beer, this is an extremely endearing way to go about it.
5.Shorty’s
Nr.62 Pearl St.Broad St.;212-480-3900
The mini-chain has a heavy Philadelphia bias, but that just means outsiders can enjoy being ribbed by Philly fans over a roast-pork sandwich. At the Financial District location, there are plenty of high-top tables, a long bar with 15 seats or so, and more than a dozen TVs lining the wall at a height that won’t have you craning your neck.
Honorable Mentions
布鲁克林酒吧
689 Sixth Ave., nr. 20th St., Windsor Terrace; 718-369-0088
A key component of a great sports bar: The bartenders won’t look at you like you’ve made a completely outlandish request if you ask for game sound to be on. That’s about hearing the action onscreen, obviously, but it also usually telegraphs a bartender who actually cares about sports. At this South Slope pub, there’s a TouchTunes jukebox, but on quieter nights, you’ll be treated to the sound of pucks and skates scraping across ice. Plus, there’s a full food menu — try the sloppy joes orthe nachos— and the parents’ den–style décor (lots of novelty license plates) is oddly comforting.
Croxley’s Ale House
63 Grand St., nr. Wythe Ave., Williamsburg; 718-387-4290
Croxley’s Brooklyn iteration is almost confoundingly large for a New York City bar, which means you’ll eventually find yourself there if you’re a sports fan in the city. Good to keep in mind for when you’re watching with a group. Also: There are 48 taps and 40-cent wing specials.
Foley’s NY
18 W. 33rd St., nr. Fifth Ave.; 212-290-0080
Midtown has plenty of anonymous pubs where you can watch sports. It doesn’t have many with so much memorabilia to gawk at during lulls in the game. Signed pucks, bobbleheads, jerseys, and even stadium seats cover the walls here, making it the place to take your sports-geek grandparents and Little League–playing cousins.
Harlem Tavern
2153 Frederick Douglass Blvd., at 116th St.; 212-866-4500
This area’s a bit starved for major sports bars, but Harlem Tavern definitely helps: There are 12 TVs in the main dining room, plus a large covered-porch-style area up front with projector screens, making it a great place to catch the Yankees. Bear in mind, if hollering at the TV during games is your style, Harlem Tavern’s probably not a perfect match — there’s live music during weekend brunch, cocktails, and a full food menu.
Mulholland’s
312 Grand St., nr. Havemeyer St.; 718-486-3473
Affordable ($15 Budweiser buckets), spacious (the dark-wood bar is 30 feet long), and housing more than a dozen TVs (including outside, and one above a fireplace), Mulholland’s is really only undone by the fact that University of Kansas fans have a habit of descending during games and leaving stickers of their fake-bird mascot everywhere. And yet: Mulholland’s is still pretty good.
Rocky McBride’s
27-01 23rd Ave., Astoria; 718-777-2723
一个低调的邻里选择，并不会太认真（grub有writtenabout the bar’s Peeptinis before); there are standard pub TVs up front in its bar space, and a little semiprivate room in back, where we recently asked to have a basketball game and two different baseball games put on the TVs — only to see our wish get granted.
Smithfield Hall
138 W. 25th St., nr. Seventh Ave.; 212-929-9677
70英尺高的酒吧,很多表,好的饮料,a second room that you can rent for private parties: Smithfield Hall is reliable, and a bit more upscale than your average sports pub. The bar majors in “football” (the soccer kind), and the New York Reds — the city’s Manchester United fan-club members — watch games here.
