"Grub Street once called this the absolute best soccer bar in NYC, and it’s easy to see why. An ample drinks menu, food that’s deeply satisfying, and football, football, football…just endless football. If you like the game at all, you probably already know to check here, and to make reservations during big match broadcasts (or just teams with big fan bases), when seating and server attention become as competitive as what’s on the screen. Select games will be screened as time and interest prompt them, so if you’ve got a wish to lock in, don’t be shy about letting them know you want to roll up with the crew. After that, there’s nothing to do but tour the world through burger and salad variations that lean hard into Asia on Smithfield’s menu…though Britons seem to really love the battered cod even while Americans praise the wings." - Brendan McGinley
