Good NYC Patriots Bars?
 

Hey guys, long time Pats fan, just moved to NYC. To my surprise, they like to show the Giants and Jets games on TV but not the Pats even though they are clearly the superior team!

Help me out, where can I find a bar that shows the Pats game every week? Can be anywhere in the city, I don't care, as long as they have good TV's, beer, and wings. The cheaper the better!! :)

Hey Patriot fan... I found a great website called "Red Sox Connection" It lists 8 Red Sox bars in NYC... I figured these bars would also be a good place to catch a Pats game on Sunday... Check it out...

Where to Watch the Red Sox on the Road

The bars, restaurants, and fan clubs of Red Sox Nation...

New York City

The Riviera Cafe & Sports Bar
225 West 4th Street @ 7th Avenue
212-929-3250
A sports bar in Greenwich Village which has gained a reputation as a haven for Red Sox fans.

Hairy Monk
337 3rd Ave. (@ 25th St)
212-532-2929
An Irish pub with Red Sox memorabilia displayed in the bar, the Hairy Monk shows all Red Sox games on their plasma screens and 8 foot projection screen. Best of all, the bar staff of Leanne, Pete & Ivan are not Yankees fans.

Harrison's Tavern
355 Amsterdam Ave. (@ 77th St)
212-724-3600
They have good pub food, Harpoon on draft, a pool table and neighborhood Sox fans. The owner is from Boston, and Red Sox games are always on the flat screen behind the bar.
Harrison's is temporarily closed. They are moving to a new location at 143 Chambers Street but aren't reopening until October 1st.

Lion's Head Tavern
995 Amsterdam Ave. (@ 109th St)
212-866-1030
Located in the Morningside Heights area near Columbia University. Some people are calling this place Riviera Cafe north, but with cheaper beer.

Pat O'Brien's
1701 Second Ave (@ 88th St.)
212-410-2013
Located in the upper east side of Manhattan, this bar is owned by a Boston College grad and has Boston bartenders working the bar. All Red Sox games are shown, and there are bar specials for all of the games. In case you're wondering, there's no connection to the New Orleans bar of the same name.

Phebe's
359 Bowery (@ 4th St.)
212-358-1902
It's not the biggest Sox hangout in New York, but the place is clean, the food is very good and there is lots of room to watch the game and get food. More Sox fans hang out at this East Village bar than Yankees fans, and the atmosphere is classier than any of the other Red Sox hangouts.

Professor Thom's
219 2nd Avenue (between 13th & 14th Street)
212-260-9480
Jim McGuire, the bartender who started the Red Sox following at the Riviera Cafe, has opened his own bar in the East Village, which has become famous for "Play-by-Play Tuesdays." Pairs of Red Sox fans can sign up to do their own commentary, which is broadcast throughout the bar every Tuesday night that Boston has a road game.

Standings
43 East 7th St. (between 2nd & Cooper Square)
212-420-0671
This neighborhood pub opened in the summer of 2005 to the delight of local Red Sox fans. They have bartenders from Boston that are VERY passionate about the Sox and proudly show all available Red Sox games (with sound) that appear on NESN or the MLB Package. As an added bonus, Standings has free pizza every Friday night at 8 PM during the baseball season.

Mostly a repeat of jamyzcc's list; this is from an espnBoston column this past summer:

I live in Boston, but I've been to the Hairy Monk and couple times to catch Pats games during weekend trips to NYC. HIGHLY recommended!

Re: Good NYC Patriots Bars?
 

Prof Thom's is the best Boston sports fan bar in NYC.

Re: Good NYC Patriots Bars?
 

I strongly recommend the Hairy Monk in NYC! It's a great spot for any displaced Boston sports fan. Although if you're like me and you want to make it out to Gillette for a game or two during the year I found a great carpooling service. If you're looking for a ride out to Gillette this weekend check this out! Go to us.amovens.com and type in Gillette Stadium!

Re: Good NYC Patriots Bars?
 

Professor Thom's and the Riviera Cafe are the best ones.

Ooops, I already posted on this.....

Re: Good NYC Patriots Bars?
 

I like how we have such nice group of people and fans all over the US and not just in Boston/ New England area!

Re: Good NYC Patriots Bars?
 

I was at Prof Thom's on Monday night for Pats-KC.

Excellent. Good fans, good atmosphere, fun watching the Bs-Canadiens during breaks. Highly recommend, again.
