It's NFL playoff season - but you already know that.

Why watch the game at home when you can cheer your team on with a bunch of like minded fans at an awesome sports bar (let's be honest - you may have a fridge full of beer, but the wings are going to be better there)?

To help plan your drinking strategy for the next few games, we've rounded up a list of our Top-Rated sport bars in New York. Stop by to watch the games, high-five fellow drinkers after a touchdown and shed a tear into your pint if it doesn't go your way.

Onward to the Super Bowl!

#10 O'Flanagans

While easily mistaken for a “frat bar plunked down on the UES”, this “longtime” Irish hang is “frequented by all types” who share a taste for suds, sports and “decent” pub grub; when rotating cover bands take the back stage, it’s “always a good time.”

1215 1st Ave; 212-439-0660



#9 Slate

“Nicer than a regular sports bar”, this “spacious” Flatiron billiards hall is a “fairly civilized” retreat with a “chill” bar/lounge on the ground floor and “lots of pool” and Ping-Pong downstairs; alright, it’s “pricey” and rather “corporate”, but overall it chalks up as “cool” for “twentysomethings and those who wish they still were.”

#8 Gym

Decor: 15
Service: 19

“Less showy and pretentious” than the typical “Chelsea boy” scene, this sorta-“butch” gay sports bar is the “opposite of g”, with a crowd of “regular guys” guzzling “cheap strong drinks” and feigning interest in the televised action; no surprise, there are more dudes “looking for jocks than actual jocks” in attendance.

167 8th Ave; 212-337-2439
