    For 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.

    They 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.

    $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...

    With 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.

    Excellent service and love the Thursday ladies happy hour (overall they have a diff happy hour special every day) 👍
  • Frances H.
    Went 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

    Great food, and music but poor service. 2 for 1 drinks during happy hour made up for it.

    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

    +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.

    A 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.

    If 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.

    They 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.

    A 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.

    Great place to work off post work frustration. The night club music is so loud for happy hour you'll be yelling the whole time.

    Watch out! Although they have great service on game days, they will add 18% gratuity without telling you!

    Decent happy hour and great price for ladies night. Brew selection isn't worth noting. Can become "club loud".

    Bit 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!
