    Hands down the best place to watch footy in NYC. Non-denominational (but the crowd leans Arsenal and Liverpool). Always a good atmosphere and impeccable tap list.

    Start your day with a bacon, egg and cheese pie at Banter Bar, which has 24 beers on tap and a serious soccer obsession. The international crowd and flawlessly placed screens are reasons for a visit. Read more

    Great beer and bartenders. Amazing tap beer (24 kinds, rotating & only good). Best comfortable bar in Williamsburg. It's a place that you'll have a hard time not making a local because of the people.

    Best Foosball table in The NYC area. Thursday is Foosball night at Banter Bar with $4 craft beer and $5 shot specials for foosers. All the bartenders are awesome and nice.

    The simple panini and savory pies are fine fare, especially the sandwich with smoked turkey, gouda, and leeks. Lots of whiskeys, too. Read more

    Excellent food, The Beef Cheddar Mushroom Savory Pie is very tasty. A Must Have. Can't wait to go back again and have another BCM Savory Pie. Great service :)

    Awesome soccer bar to watch a game. Bartender's were super friendly given the chaos of the bar! Definitely recommend!

    Best for an excellent beer selection or night of trivia. Avoid the food in general; there're better places around to eat.

    Dart board at the back. Be careful it's not foosball night as the spaces overlap.

    Do NOT get the "hot buttery rum" cocktail. The $8 mini bottle of cava is a food deal.
