Bars

New York has more bars than any other city in the world. There are great bars and a fair amount of terrible bars. The team at Where We Watch know the "where should we go out?" feeling and want to take the guess work out of your drinking plans. To kick the summer off, we've included our favorite Kentucky Derby bars in New York City.

Come back often - we'll be adding info on more awesome NYC bars on a regular basis. And if we missed one that you think we should add, click here to let us know. Where are you watching?

Bar None

98 3rd Avenue

The first time I came through Bar None it was full of Saints fans losing their minds. This is usual fare for Where We Watch bars, but these fans upped the ante as this was during the preseason. ... Read More

Barrow Street Ale House

15 Barrow Street

Surprisingly, unless their website's counter is busted, less than 300 people have visited their online home since 2001. Odd, since whenever you walk in this place, it's pretty jumping. Now, the ... Read More

Beckett’s

81 Pearl Street

Just steps from the current (and former) titans of Wall Street is Stone Street, a hotbed of bars chock full of women and Wall Streeters trying to strike it rich. Hidden amongst the happy hour ... Read More

Blondie’s West

212 West 79th St

Possibly the best 1-2 punch of sports bars in New York is Blondies East and Blondies West. The latter boasts awesome wings, a Monday night all you can eat wings with beer specials, 2 big screen TVs ... Read More

Brother Jimmy’s BBQ - Murray Hill

181 Lexington Avenue

While there is a certain charm and appeal to all Brother Jimmy's locations, the spot in Murray Hill is a favorite for the true college sports fan. On a college gameday, every corner of this two story ... Read More

Brother Jimmy’s BBQ - Upper East Side

1484 Second Avenue

We'll sum this one up with an anecdote from a co-worker -- "My girlfriend just moved to town. Huge Ohio State fan. First weekend she's here, they're kicking off at noon. We get up there at 11:30 and ... Read More

Brother Jimmy’s BBQ Midtown

416 8th Ave

Somewhat depressingly, we watched the 2007 Kentucky Derby here, solo. (One person is writing this, holla.) They put on audio for us and dropped the price of Sam Adams. If that's not a good bar, what ... Read More

Dorrian’s Red Hand Restaurant

1616 Second Ave

About two years ago, we had a friend in town. Took him to Dorrian's. Completely out of nowhere, ran into other friends, THEN ran into a wedding party in the back who we knew as well. None of this was ... Read More

Eight Mile Creek

240 Mulberry Street

If you go upstairs to the restaurant, you may think that this is another prissy European bar. Don't let that confuse you. Go downstairs to the creek bar and you'll see a bar straight out of the ... Read More

Fat Annie’s Truck Stop

131 West 33 Street

Doesn't get love 'cuz it's next-door neighbor is big bad Stout, but it's an underrated place to get a few beers and watch the game. The big bonus here is that of all the bars on that block, FATS will ... Read More
