amNewYorkOctober 29, 2013For a Halloween treat, try the Blurry Bloody Vision: Vodka and fruity flavors like Grenadine make for a simple sip, but the Red Bull will give extra boost for victims in an ax-murder chase scene. $10.
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanJanuary 17, 2013They have a solid burger that is off the menu, but might get added next month. Chef Jordan describes it as...if In-N-Out, Shake Shack & a Big Mac had a baby it'd be this burger.
Dawn MicheleJune 26, 2016$5.00 margarita and nachos -- cool concept, except you're drinking two or three BIG margaritas with no nachos wondering where it's at & fearing if you ask too much, well, you want your food fine OK...
Davinci VirtualApril 12, 2011With a slew of HD flat-screens, this Union Square spot is ideal for game-watching. If you've got a group meeting planned, reserve the tasting room which features 4 HD screens & holds up to 50 people.
RonniNovember 29, 2016Excellent service and love the Thursday ladies happy hour (overall they have a diff happy hour special every day) 👍
Frances HernandezMay 2, 2017Went on a Tuesday for the 2 for 1 drink special and the drinks were disgusting. Also in order to get the 2 for 1 deal, you have to order the same drink. So if you hate your first drink, you're screwed
Paola GuerreroMarch 10, 2017Great food, and music but poor service. 2 for 1 drinks during happy hour made up for it.
H BombzApril 9, 2012Bartenders are absolutely adorable here! Mon thru thrus bring ur ticket stub from Darryl Roth and get a discount and don't forget to sign up to win an open bar for u n 100 friends
GI-GAMER.comJuly 22, 2013The official Oregon Ducks (overflow from Little Town NYC)bar of NYC. Great staff & good bar food.
CBS New YorkJune 12, 2015They're serving a special Blue Hawaiian cocktail, and lamb sliders with cucumber mint chutney for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th).
Beware: this is no longer the Ravens sanctuary it used to be, they've got the entire NFL Sunday Ticket going. The beer's still cheap, but you'll have to rub shoulders with some Eagles fans
SparkieSeptember 26, 2012Union Square: Sunday Funday for just $30. You get unlimited bloodys, mimosas, Bud Light drafts and other signature cocktails and punch. Plus, your choice of entree.
Kristin KAugust 8, 2012+I found Taco Tuesdays in NYC! 3 tacos and a scrumptious shot of tequila for only $10! -Way too loud, not the best place to come if you are just trying to catch up with a friend- This place generally is full of the youthful crowd watching a lot of sports. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is warm.
Been coming here for years. Decent selection of drinks, but usually a good time.
Marc MayerJanuary 2, 2016A great way to remember every person you've tried to forget from your hometown. Because they all show up here, for some reason. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the crowd.
David SkurnikSeptember 30, 2013If you're going to watch football on a Sunday, be prepared for just music, no football sound, during the 4PM games, even if it's a NY team playing. Also, the "manager" is an asshole.
Great place to spend Sunday fun day watching the Lions destroy every team they play by at least 1000 points.
Theresa RoldanJanuary 3, 2016They need more than one bartender at a time. Be weary of the crowd...it's a weird mix of young students and old professionals. Good music though, and decent beer selection.
Tony ClomaxDecember 1, 2013Has all the games, extremely hot wings and a beautiful & attentive waitstaff. Great for groups or solo.
$8.95 lunch special is the a great deal for a burger and a beer. It keeps me coming back!
La Fer @lenubienneDecember 10, 2014Great service, good music, excellent proximity to Irving Plaza. Cucumber 'tini was delicious.
Kevin GrantNovember 16, 2016A Florida Gators bar - waitresses wear skimpy clothes and the hot wings are pretty hot. Go on a game day and it's crazy. Not my kinda place but it serves its purpose well.
Vanessa PeñaFebruary 26, 2014Great place to work off post work frustration. The night club music is so loud for happy hour you'll be yelling the whole time.
Hudson TerraceNovember 9, 2011GREAT FOR SUNDAT FOOTBALL WITH ZACH ON THE WHEELS AND ALSO A GREAT SPOT FOR PRIVATE PARTIES IN THE BACK ROOM!
Mark HeyertFebruary 4, 2018Good place to relive your college blackout drunk dreams. There’s a great Mexican restaurant next door.
Watch out! Although they have great service on game days, they will add 18% gratuity without telling you!
Great $30 brunch special with unlimited drinks for 3 hours and the food is also really good!! My favorite place to go!
The only place in NYC to watch the Gators dominate. Awesome food, great specials, and an amazing staff.
A L E XAugust 6, 2016Decent happy hour and great price for ladies night. Brew selection isn't worth noting. Can become "club loud".
Geeks Who Drink hosts a pub quiz here on Wednesday nights at 8 PM. Only venue for it in the city so far.
Time Out New YorkMarch 30, 2010For a weekday binge, start at this sports bar. From noon to 7pm, hoist $3 Bud Light drafts and two-for-one Absolut cocktails, Cruzan mojitos and bottles of Bud. Read more
Charles EdgeJanuary 7, 2012Bit overpriced but a good selection of beers, typically greasy bar food and happy to change the station to the Georgia game if you ask nicely!
Virginia TooMay 16, 2014Stay organized, get weather and stock updates. Take notes on bar naps and catch up with old friends.
Jeff BairdOctober 6, 2012Don't pay with your card on game day I saw the bar tenders lose two. Bring cash!
Order the Becklin! Absolut Brooklyn + Tonic + splish splash of cranberry. Created by N.Beck & Franklin.
CThe FlowFebruary 18, 2012Hot bartenders, great food, awesome bar in general. Bouncers are real cool too.
Robert RoweJune 11, 2010...this is a great sports bar! Enjoy a Buffalo Chicken Wrap (with Blue Cheese dressing) and catch a game! Check online for events -> Read more
Alison KlempMarch 4, 2012If you are looking to go on a bro safari, to view and hunt bros in their natural habitat, this is the place.

The simple elegance of SideBAR speaks to its redefinition of a genre. This chic sports bar with urban attitude is centered on an incredibly ornamented bar and a panoramic view of Gramercy.
